Iron Tree-of-Life Five-Light Candelabrum

A vintage Japanese five-light candelabrum shaped as a tree of life growing upward. From a sturdy central trunk, branches of varying heights extend to left and right, punctuated with leaf-shaped iron pieces, and ultimately support five round candle pans, transforming the living imagery of a plant into a sculptural piece of ironwork. At nearly 50 cm tall, it is not an ordinary small table candlestick and has a distinct presence once displayed. Seen from the front, the central trunk forms a stable vertical axis, while the five candle holders spread out to either side at different heights, creating a balanced outline like a tree canopy. The iron surface lacks the uniform, smooth finish of modern metalware; instead it retains deep black-brown tones, areas of oxidation and natural changes left by time. The outlines of the branches and leaves also have the irregularity peculiar to handmade work, giving the whole piece the rugged, plain and quiet character of a vintage Japanese object (kodōgu).

WOODWARE-KS Wooden Two-Drawer Small Chest

A vintage Japanese small wooden chest with two drawers, a compact, square case with upper and lower drawers. Free of excessive ornament, it relies on deep wood tones, raised frame mouldings and old-style metal pulls to convey the plain character typical of old Japanese furniture. The front is especially attractive: both drawers have recessed panel fronts framed in dark wood for depth, with a reddish-brown wood tone in the centre, and weathered curved metal handles that add a touch of antique detail to the sober whole. It measures approximately 20 × 21 × 22 cm, a very versatile piece of tabletop furniture. Unlike large antique Japanese furniture that needs dedicated space, a small chest like this can sit directly on a desk, tea table, entryway cabinet, bedside, display shelf or work table.

Ceramic Guardian General Holding a Pagoda and Trident Halberd, Folk-Craft Pottery Ornament (Kodōgu)

A vintage Japanese ceramic figure of a divine general holding a pagoda in one hand and a trident halberd on the other side. It transforms the attributes and guardian-general imagery common to traditional religious figures into a ceramic work full of Japanese folk-craft charm. What catches the eye first is its endearing proportions. Rather than the tall, solemn posture typical of traditional Buddhist statuary, the body is modelled in a full, rounded outline; the head is slightly bowed, and the heavy brows and gaze carry a certain sternness, yet the exaggerated figure and hand modelling create a contrast of dignity tempered by good-natured charm, and of rustic simplicity touched with humour.

Cast-Iron Rooster Ornament with Aged Polychrome Finish, Folk-Craft Ironware (Kodōgu)

A vintage Japanese iron rooster ornament depicting a cockerel standing proudly with head raised. Through its thick metal and three-dimensional casting, the comb, wings, breast and belly, and the long tail feathers sweeping upward are each carefully rendered. What is most appealing about the piece is that it lacks the even, bright surface of modern metal ornaments; instead it shows richly layered tones of deep brown, dark green, blue-green and touches of vermilion. The comb and wattles in particular retain a warm red that contrasts vividly with the sombre dark tones of the body, while the wings and tail show antique greenish hues, giving the whole piece the character of an old object that only comes with the passing of time.
