Hand Carved Antique Teak Table

Beautiful, hand carved antique table from Madura. The top is cut from a single slab with a hand carved bevelled edge. The base is also hand carved with stunning detail. Large enough for dining for two a game table, or perfect as a side table.

This table was sourced in the spirit of wabi-sabi, a Japanese philosophy that beauty can be found in imperfection and impermanence. It’s a beauty of things modest and humble. It’s 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.
