this refined tansu features four practical drawers of varying sizes, each fitted with sleek metal handles. The largest drawer stands out with its decorative lock plate (key not included).

over the years, the piece has developed a beautiful patina - the wood now displays a warm deep red hue with striking dark wood grain that enhances its character. The multiple drawers make it perfect for storing small valuables like jewelry, writing implements, or other precious items.

with its low profile and timeless aesthetic, this chest also works wonderfully as a display piece for elegant plants, fine ceramics, or art objects.

a minimalist design that combines japanese craftsmanship with practical functionality, overflowing with historical charm.

note: this is an antique piece with natural signs of aging that contribute to its authenticity. See less
