Lotus Flower Vintage Wooden Abacus
Where Eastern mathematical tradition meets timeless artisanal elegance.
This exceptional vintage suàn pán—the traditional Chinese abacus—exemplifies the Lotus Flower commitment to preserving functional antiquity with distinguished grace. Masterfully constructed with a dark-stained hardwood frame reinforced with weathered brass corner brackets that have developed a rich, authentic patina over decades of thoughtful use.
The dual-deck design features eleven precisely aligned wooden rods, each adorned with polished ebony beads that glide with a satisfying tactile response—five below and two above the dividing beam, following the ancient 5:2 computational system that merchants relied upon for centuries across the Silk Road.
More than a mathematical instrument, this Lotus Flower abacus stands as a functional sculpture that speaks to a discerning appreciation for heritage craftsmanship. Its well-preserved condition reflects years of respectful use, with each subtle mark adding character and narrative to this computational heirloom.
Display this remarkable piece in your study or as a centerpiece on a bookshelf—its understated elegance complements both traditional and contemporary décor while serving as a conversation piece that bridges Eastern mathematical tradition with sophisticated home styling.
A distinguished addition to any collection of vintage instruments or Eastern artifacts from Lotus Flower.
Handcrafted with integrity, circa mid-20th century.
