About the Item
Japan, ca. late 19th century. A fabulous tall and narrow tansu from the late Meiji Period in old red finish. Features handmade wood construction with six tightly fitted storage drawers - each with iron hardware. Open top section most likely had two small sliding doors - now long since gone. However, we especially like the idea of using this space for towels or toiletries in a bathroom. Professionally refurbished the preserve the patina, it is in overall excellent antique condition.

View AllAntique English Jacobean Oak Chest
Located in Cambridge, US
England, ca. late 17th century. A fabulous antique Jacobean or Charles II style chest on stand. Features solid oak construction with a planked top with moulded edge above two small and two large geometrically paneled drawers. Cast brass drop handles and escutcheons are most likely replacements but are period and stylistically correct. (This is not uncommon as brasses were often sold or melted down in times of conflict.) Supported by an unusual separate arched base that includes two narrow drawers and turned bun feet.
An attractive survivor perfectly suited to a variety of interiors, we were drawn to the piece’s dark finish and dramatic - yet lovely - presence. From the estate of the Cambridge-born explorer, photographer, and mountaineer Henry Bradford Washburn, Jr. (1910-2007), whose family traced their roots back to Mayflower passenger William Brewster...
