We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

This is a Victorian Japanese Meiji period antique side table and lamp or wine stand. The piece is constructed from ebonised elm, presenting an ebonised black colour with natural wear revealing lighter brown undertones on the edges and surfaces. The design includes an oval inset top with a moulded rim, four flared legs terminating in rounded ball feet, and a framework of shaped humpback stretchers that unite the legs. Subtle signs of distress and a time-worn patina are visible across the dark finish. Measuring 50 cm high, 42 cm wide and 35 cm deep, this petite occasional table provides a compact surface for display or utility. It suits placement at the end of a sofa in a gentleman's library or living room to hold a lamp, drinks or decorative objects, bringing understated oriental elegance to the interior.

FAQs

Meiji period furniture often features traditional Japanese joinery and woodworking techniques adapted for Western export, incorporating ebonised or lacquered finishes with simple geometric or curved forms.

Craftspeople typically utilised native hardwoods such as elm or zelkova, assembling the pieces using mortise and tenon joinery combined with layered ebonised or lacquer surface treatments.

Authentic pieces display natural edge wear where the lighter underlying timber shows through the dark ebonised coat, alongside period-appropriate hand-cut joinery rather than modern mechanical fixings.

A dark ebonised side table provides a strong visual anchor when placed beside a neutral sofa or contemporary armchair, functioning as a plant stand, lamp base, or drink rest.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth, keeping the item away from direct sunlight, radiators, and excess moisture to preserve the dark finish.
