Antique Japanese Meiji Era Tansu Chest on Stand

Discover the artistry and functionality of Japanese craftsmanship with this exquisite antique Tansu chest, dating back to the Meiji Era (c. 1890s). Crafted from lightweight yet durable Kiri (paulownia) wood, this chest showcases the natural beauty of the grain and the warm, honeyed tones that develop with age.

Traditionally used for storing clothing, this Tansu chest features two drawers and distinctive iron hardware. The original iron pulls and decorative lock plates add a touch of rustic charm and historical authenticity. The chest rests on a custom-made iron stand, elevating it to a comfortable height and providing a striking contrast between the natural wood and the industrial metal.
