This antique Japanese kimono tansu has a calm, clean form with two wide drawers and a deep dark-lacquered finish. The surface shows beautiful natural ageing, with subtle wear, small traces and variations in the lacquer that give the piece great character.
Dimensions: height 52 cm, width 85 cm, depth 40.5 cm.
The chest most likely dates from the late Meiji period or early Taishō period, around c. 1900–1910s. This type of tansu was traditionally used for storing kimono, textiles, clothing and personal belongings. The metal corner fittings, elegant handles and decorative lock plates give the sober volume a refined graphic strength. The keys are not present.
Today, this low tansu works beautifully as a compact storage cabinet, low sideboard or display piece for ceramics, ikebana, books or objects. The combination of dark lacquered wood, simple lines and old Japanese hardware makes it a beautiful fit for a stylish contemporary interior.
In good condition, with normal signs of use and natural ageing consistent with age and use. Solid and functional.
