Antique Japanese wooden storage box, originally designed to store an abacus and writing tools. Solid wood construction with riveted iron corner hardware for durability. Beautiful natural patina to the wood and iron from age and use.
Hand-carved characters on top — could translate loosely to "Merchant’s Office" or "Accountant’s Tools" (商用, 商務 styles depending on dialect). Likely used in a shop or business during the late 19th to early 20th century.
A great authentic piece for antique Asian decor lovers, collectors, or rustic design fans.
