Japanese Tansu Chest SAI4264

A traditional Japanese tansu chest in well‑figured timber with its original ironwork. This multi‑drawer chest features a wonderfully balanced arrangement of compartments, including a pair of slatted sliding doors to the centre, flanked by drawers of varying sizes. The iron hardware — handles, lock plates, corner brackets, and decorative mounts — is beautifully forged, displaying the characteristic boldness and craftsmanship of Japanese metalwork.
The wood has developed a deep, warm patina with areas of wear that speak to long use and authenticity. The drawers run smoothly, and the sliding doors move cleanly across their tracks. A striking and practical piece of Japanese furniture, combining storage versatility with strong visual presence. Ideal for interiors that appreciate character, craftsmanship, and traditional Japanese design.
