Description from the seller
A set of Japanese lacquered stackable serving tables (called irekozen or serving stand set) is shown.
Size 18x36x36,18x35x35,18x31x31.
Key features
Material and technique: Wooden objects made of black urushi lacquer, decorated with delicate, gold-colored plant motifs (maki-e or chinkin technique).
Design: The set consists of three serving dishes or small tables on legs in different sizes. The curved cutouts are not only aesthetic, but also make it easy to move.
Function: In traditional Japanese culture, they were used to support food and drink dishes at festive meals or during tea and saido ceremonies. When not in use, they can be slid into or under each other to save space (ireko).
Age: Based on the design and shape, these are typically antique pieces from the late Meiji period, the Taisho period, or the early Shōwa period (late 19th century - first half of the 20th century).
They are in good condition, with minor signs of use. We tried to take photos so that all traces are visible.
