Description from the seller

Japanese wooden pedestal on a stand – Traditional display support for a bonsai or art object – 20th century (estimated dating)

Elegant small square wooden pedestal, acquired about ten years ago at a Yahoo Auctions Japan sale.

During the purchase, the item was described as of Japanese manufacture. This attribution could not be independently verified.

The stand features a slightly recessed square top, surrounded by a molded border with subtly wavy contours.

It rests on four feet connected by decorative crossbars, in a traditional Asian style evoking, in particular, the influence of Chinese furniture on Japanese decorative arts.

The wood has a dark reddish-brown, almost black finish, with visible grain and a patina tied to its use.

This piece is particularly suitable for displaying a bonsai, a vase, a sculpture, or a collectible ceramic.

Origin: Japan, according to the seller's attribution at purchase.

Era: probably the 20th century, dating not confirmed.

Material: wood, species not identified.

Dimensions:
- Height: 24.5 cm
- Width: 24 cm

Condition:
Good overall condition, with superficial scratches, wear, and finish wear, especially on the upper platform and borders.

Please examine the photographs carefully, which are an integral part of the description.
