This low tansu features two generous drawers, each with two graceful pulls. Side carry handles make it easy to move.

The rich red-chestnut tone contrasts beautifully with the dark ironwork. Attractive signs of wear and a mature patina speak to its age and lend an authentic wabi-sabi character.

A practical yet decorative tansu for contemporary interiors—ideal as a low console or a pedestal for art, ceramics, or plants. See less
