Each chest is fitted with two generously scaled drawers and traditional recessed side handles, designed for transport and modular use.

Sourced from the estate of a dedicated Japanese antiques collector, the pair reflects the restrained utility and enduring craftsmanship associated with late 19th to early 20th century tansu forms. The clean, linear silhouette and natural patina lend themselves equally to traditional interiors and contemporary Japandi or wabi-sabi spaces.

Highly versatile in use — the chests may be stacked vertically in the traditional manner, arranged side by side as a low console, or used individually as bedside or storage pieces.

Interiors are notably clean with a dry, well-kept wood scent, indicative of careful long-term storage.
