C1880-1920 Antique Chinese suanpan abacus with hardwood frame, bamboo rods, and brass corner plates. Beautiful dark patina from long use. Measures 14-1/2” x 7”.

**One upper bead is missing, a common sign of working life on authentic shop and merchant abaci.**

Structurally sound , all rods straight, and remaining beads move smoothly. A classic late‑Qing/early‑Republic era calculating tool with great display presence.
