About This Piece

Vintage Design

This elegant Japanese tansu chest from the Meiji period (1868-1912) is a perfect example of traditional craftsmanship.

Dimensions: height 89 cm, width 90 cm, depth 45.5 cm.

The chest features four spacious main drawers, complemented by three small drawers - two of which are hidden behind a decorative door.

A charming detail is the secret compartment behind the bottom drawer, ideal for discreet storage of valuables.

The rich chestnut-brown wood creates a beautiful contrast with the black metal fittings, while the characteristic handles and side carrying brackets reflect its original purpose as a traveling chest.

This tansu radiates timeless elegance that works perfectly in both modern and classic interiors.

The chest displays a natural patina that highlights its age and authenticity, with subtle signs of use that speak to its rich history.

Perfect for those seeking a stylish storage solution with historical character or a showcase piece for art objects and valuable collections.
