Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1890s:
Fine-wire cloisonné enamel with spider-web crazing: export craftsmanship of the Meiji period.
Deeply carved floral relief with punched grounds: hand chisel work across the solid timber.
Shrinkage gaps at the segmented rim joints: natural movement in solid timber over decades.
Quadrant drawers pivoting on original iron pins: intact late 19th-century export construction.

This Independent Date Guide was compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. It works only from the photographs shown on this page and is never told the date the dealer has declared. It is a guide, not a guarantee of age, and occasional errors can occur.

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.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

This late nineteenth-century Japanese center or drum-type table is dated 1890 and belongs to the Meiji period. The piece consists of a dark brown hardwood frame with a waxed finish, four frieze drawers or compartments with small bronzed knob pulls, and four shaped swept supports joined in the base with a central carved urn, ending in scrolled feet. The circular top holds an inset green cloisonne enamel panel decorated with a central stylised dragon design in strong, vibrant colors. Relief-carved floral aprons and geometric fretwork mouldings run along the frieze. Measuring 76 cm high, 46 cm wide, and 46 cm deep, this small-scale table works well in a gentleman's library or an empty corner of a living room to hold a lamp or decorative items.

FAQs

A circular occasional table produced in Japan during the late Meiji era, combining traditional relief woodcarving with an inset decorative enamel metalwork plaque.

These tables are constructed from carved dense hardwoods, such as rosewood or teak, incorporating a copper alloy plaque decorated with enamel via the cloisonne technique.

Authentic pieces feature detailed hand-carved foliage or figurative motifs, traditional joinery techniques, and genuine cloisonne enamel with fine brass wire cells.

Place the table in an entryway or empty corner to serve as a focal point, pairing it with neutral walls and subtle accent lighting to highlight the craftsmanship.

Dust the intricate wood carving regularly using a soft dry brush, clean the enamel inset with a damp microfibre cloth, and position the item away from direct heat sources.
