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.

Material: wood, species not identified.
Dimensions:
- Height: 24.5 cm
- Width: 24 cm
- Depth: 24 cm
Condition:
Good overall condition, with superficial scratches, wear, and finish wear, especially on the upper platform and borders.
