Likely dating to the early to mid-20th century, the abacus is constructed with precision-carved wooden beads that slide smoothly along metal rods. The decorative scalloped center panel adds a touch of craftsmanship and visual interest. With its warm wood tones and timeworn finish, this functional tool doubles as a sculptural desk object or decorative accent. An excellent example of Japanese mathematical instruments with both historical and aesthetic appeal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eVintage condition as pictured.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eListing is for described items only.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eDimensions approximately: 14.25\"L, 2.75\"H, 5\"thick\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eBox S12\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Big Whale Consignment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47588740694206,"sku":"07312504","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6760\/1086\/files\/EFBAAC4B-1571-4B2D-87D6-5B3EE29B08F7.heic?v=1780006312","url":"https:\/\/bigwhaleconsignment.com\/products\/likely-antique-japanese-abacus-with-wood-frame-and-patinaed-beads","provider":"Big Whale Consignment","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
