About the Item

A refined piece of Meiji-era craftsmanship, this antique Mizuya-dansu (kitchen chest) dates to circa 1900 and reflects the understated elegance of traditional Japanese interiors. Crafted from solid cedar and elm, its warm patina showcases expressive wood grain, while the hand-forged iron hardware and decorative carved panel add an artful touch. Unlike merchant’s chests, this piece was designed for stationary storage, making it a practical yet beautifully crafted kitchen fixture. Standing at 66.25 inches high, this tall chest offers generous storage. Behind its single-panel door, the spacious interior provides space for dishware, serving pieces, or pantry essentials. Below, two deep drawers organize linens, utensils, or household items. Its vertical form makes it ideal as a freestanding pantry in a kitchen, a linen cabinet in a hallway, or even a storage armoire in a study or workspace. Whether placed in a modern or traditional setting, this authentic Japanese tansu merges historic craftsmanship with modern function, offering timeless storage and sculptural appeal for a well-curated home.
