Temple-Grade Altar Furniture Set (4-Piece) — Vermilion Finish with Gold-Tone Fittings
(MADE-TO-ORDER 60-75 days manufacturing period from order/payment date)
A temple furnishing set is a kind of quiet architecture. It does not compete with the sacred image; it builds the stage that lets the sacred feel stable.
This four-piece platform configuration is finished in a rich vermilion tone with gold-tone metal fittings—an intentional contrast that reads clearly in low light and makes the geometry feel ceremonial rather than domestic. The result is a shrine-ready system: a main desk for arrangement and continuity, a broad ritual platform for offerings and seasonal staging, and two side stands that restore symmetry to the room.
Collectors often focus on icons—statues, scrolls, ritual objects. But this is the layer that makes a devotional environment feel complete. It is functional heritage: furniture designed to be used, wiped, lived with, and respected over decades.
Because the set is multi-piece and hard-cornered, international shipping should be treated as freight-class. We recommend export crating for structural safety and to preserve surface integrity. Weight estimates and a US landed-cost planning model are provided above for audit and decision-making.
If you are building a serious household sanctum, a diaspora prayer room, or an installation where the furniture must read “correct,” this is the kind of disciplined set that transforms a corner into a threshold.

Cargo Shipping & Handling Notice
Due to the final packaged weight and/or dimensional requirements of this piece, standard parcel services such as Japan Post EMS, DHL, FedEx, or UPS are not applicable. This item will be shipped via cargo or freight-based shipping methods.
Cargo shipments require additional preparation time to ensure proper handling, which may include custom crating, reinforced packing, coordination with domestic logistics providers, and scheduling with international freight consolidators and export brokers. As a result, estimated delivery timelines typically range from 6 to 10 weeks, depending on routing, carrier availability, and customs clearance procedures in the destination country.
Please note that actual shipping costs may differ from automated shipping calculator estimates. By default, a portion of the expected shipping cost may be reflected in the listing price. Any difference or discrepancy will be quoted separately once destination, delivery method, and handling requirements are confirmed.
We kindly ask that collectors contact us prior to purchase to request an exact, customized shipping quotation for their destination. This ensures full transparency and allows us to arrange the most appropriate, secure, and efficient shipping solution for this piece.
Thank you for your understanding and patience as we take the necessary care to deliver this work safely.
