Rated Excellent on Trustpilot.
From Japan, this iron decorative object measures 5 cm high, 7 cm wide and 5.5 cm deep, dating to 1900–2000, in good condition, featuring an organic irregular form with leaf motifs and round fruit-like elements, a natural patina and a wabi-sabi aesthetic.
Description from the seller
This is a traditional Japanese iron decorative object featuring an organic, irregular form inspired by nature. The design incorporates leaf motifs and round fruit-like elements, creating a sculptural piece with a strong sense of balance and movement.
The iron surface shows natural aging and patina, adding depth and character to the piece. Its asymmetrical shape reflects the Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi, celebrating imperfection and natural form.
Such iron objects were often appreciated as decorative accents or contemplative pieces, suitable for display in a tokonoma alcove, on a shelf, or as part of a curated interior. This piece works equally well as a collectible art object or a refined decorative element.
