Antique Chinese Straits Sectional Market Food Carrier / Side Table (64cm) - Wabi Sabi Side Table.

A rare and highly decorative oversized example of a traditional Chinese Straits "Market Carrier." Originally used for transporting prepared meals and goods through the vibrant markets of the Straits Settlements, this authentic 4-piece set is a masterclass in traditional steamed-wood craftsmanship.

At 64cm tall, it has been curated specifically for its potential as a unique statement side table or bedside cabinet. Its generous diameter and sturdy, flat-woven lid make it the perfect height to sit alongside a sofa or bed, adding an immediate sense of history and organic texture to a space.

Design & Heritage

  • Sectional Construction: The carrier is modular, consisting of a reinforced base, two deep central tiers, and a fitted lid. These are held together by the iconic repetition of steamed-wood structural bands.

  • Material & Patina: Hand-crafted from bamboo and steamed wood with traditional metal bindings. The piece has a deep, authentic amber patina that has developed through decades of genuine use.

  • The "Look": A perfect embodiment of the Wabi-Sabi and Japandi aesthetics—celebrating natural materials, hand-made imperfections, and the beauty of aged wood.

  • Excellent vintage/antique condition with only minor surface wear and tear commensurate with age and use.
