Antique Japanese Hibachi Chest, Unique Plant Display, 1900s
Beautiful wooden hibachi chest from the late Meiji period.

Today, this unique item effortlessly transforms into a stylish plant holder or decorative storage unit. It features five practical drawers, each fitted with elegant copper handles, offering handy storage for small items. The striking wood grain and warm patina make it a true eye-catcher in any interior. On both sides, beautifully crafted wooden handles allow for easy lifting and repositioning.
A rare blend of history, character, and functionality – perfect as a distinctive display piece in a modern or eclectic setting.
In good condition with normal signs of age.
