About this item
Discover the timeless elegance and practical charm of the abacus with our exquisitely crafted vintage-style model. Originating between 1000 BC and 500 BC in ancient China, the abacus was one of the earliest calculating tools, predating the advent of the Hindu-Arabic numeral system by centuries.
This ingenious device, with its wooden frame and sliding beads, revolutionized arithmetic in its time and continues to be a staple for merchants and clerks across China, Japan, Africa, and beyond.
Presented in a beautifully designed wooden case with a luxurious leather surface. The case features intricate patterns inspired by ancient Chinese artistry, adding a touch of historical grandeur to your desk or study.
Each abacus is meticulously crafted to ensure a smooth, tactile experience as you slide the beads across the rods, making calculations a pleasure. Accompanying this stunning piece is a comprehensive English instruction booklet that offers step-by-step guidance on bead arithmetic, allowing you to master this classic method of calculation.
Its dimensions of L14" x W6.5" x H2" make it an elegant yet compact piece that fits seamlessly into any space.
