About the Item
A traditional Japanese Tansu chest of drawers from the 1890s. Made during the late Meiji era (1868-1912), this piece exudes authenticity and character. Possibly an Isho Tansu (wardrobe) or Ko Tansu (small chest), the chest has a warm, weathered appearance with a rich black lacquer or patina that has stood the test of time. The robust wrought iron hardware with classic lock plates accentuates the traditional craftsmanship.
Functional and charming, this Tansu offers versatile storage with multiple drawers and a smaller compartment, perfect for storing documents or personal belongings. A true heirloom that adds a unique, historical touch to any modern or classic interior.
