About the Item

This is the best cabinet from the Taisho period, with a rarely seen structure and size. Its neat appearance and elegant design are still beautiful beyond time. The upper level has glass doors that open like a folding screen. The three-sided glass arrangement softly highlights the items inside and adds a sense of lightness to the space. The glass shelves are movable, so they can be adjusted to fit the height of the containers and small items. The lower level has three drawers and a single-leaf door. It has excellent storage capacity and is practical, with a good balance between displaying and putting away items. The front panels and legs of the drawers exude the dignity of aged oak, and the design of the rounded carved legs quietly tightens the overall impression. The installation of the folding screen doors and the movement of the metal fittings were carefully adjusted over time. The handles and hinges are made of the highest quality metal fittings that ICCA has treasured. This is a rare piece that combines the presence of a unique piece with a softness that blends into everyday life. We are confident in recommending it as the centerpiece of your space. *This is an antique in good condition, but there are small scratches and slight distortions other than those shown in the detailed images. *This is a multi-sided glass product. Please contact us for delivery conditions. Weight: - About Us - Based in Japan, we reinterpret high-quality Japanese furniture from the Taisho period, a fusion of Western culture and Japanese craftsmanship, and upcycle it into "modern Japanese furniture."
