Mid-Century Japanese Lacquerware Pipe Stand with Brass Holders, Retro Desk Organiser, 1950s Tobacciana, Burgundy Red & Gold

A striking mid-century Japanese lacquerware pipe stand, dating to around the 1950s–1960s. This piece combines deep burgundy lacquered wood with polished brass holders, giving it a distinctive retro look that works equally well as a collector’s tobacciana piece or as an unusual desk organiser.

The base is finished in a rich lacquer with a subtle sheen, and the underside retains its original felt pads and gold export mark. The brass twin holders are sturdy and well-proportioned, originally intended for pipes but just as useful today for resting pens, spectacles, or small accessories.

Pieces like this were produced in Japan for export to Europe and the US, reflecting both fine lacquerware tradition and mid-century modern styling. It makes a thoughtful gift for collectors of Japanese export wares, tobacciana enthusiasts, or anyone looking for a stylish retro accent for the study, den, or office.
