Japanese Wooden Wall Panels (Door Panels), Set of 2, c. 1890

Dimensions: height 89 cm, width 88 cm, depth 3 cm (per panel).

The colour is a deep dark brown with near-black tones, with touches of warm reddish-brown that come through beautifully in the grain and along the edges.

Up close, you can see exactly what makes panels like these so appealing: a pronounced grain pattern, subtle shifts in sheen, and small traces of use and wear that give the surface real character. The overall look is strong and understated—equally at home in a minimal Japandi interior or a warmer, more eclectic setting.

Ideal as wall panels: hang them as a diptych, side by side or separately. They also work beautifully simply leaned against a wall, creating an immediate, powerful impact—especially as a backdrop for ceramics, ikebana, or art.

Condition: solid and in good overall condition, with patina and age-appropriate signs of use.
