Antique wood box originally used for storing valuables. There is no key however the original hardware is intact. Lovely patina and markings throughout celebrating time and loving use on this beautiful teak box. Circa 1950.
This antique box was sourced in the spirit of Wabi-Sabi, a Japanese philosophy that beauty can be found in imperfection and impermanence. It is a beauty of things modest and humble. A beauty of things unconventional. It is the opposite of vulgarity. The costs of achieving this kind of minimalism are seemingly inconsistent with its mission of aesthetic humility. This kind of luxury is for a select few: The Emperor of Japan had a Wabi garden. Wabi is for people who already have a lot.
