AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vintage Japanese Wooden Organizer with Removable Ashtray – Showa Era
This multifunctional Japanese wooden storage box features a built-in ashtray compartment and a lower drawer, combining practicality with traditional craftsmanship.
Crafted from beautifully grained wood with a warm reddish-brown finish, the piece is accented with decorative iron fittings that enhance its traditional aesthetic. The upper section is divided into two compartments, one of which originally housed the removable ashtray insert. The ashtray is made of metal with engraved decorative patterns and can also be used as a small tray or accessory holder.
The lower section includes a pull-out drawer with a metal handle, providing additional concealed storage space. The structure is solid and well-balanced, making it suitable not only as a vintage smoking accessory but also as a stylish interior organizer for small items, jewelry, keys, or tea utensils.
This piece reflects mid-20th-century Japanese interior design, where functionality and craftsmanship were harmoniously combined.
