Description

An exceptional example of Japanese cabinetry, this merchant’s chest fashioned from richly grained Keyaki (zelkova) wood, This Japanese merchant’s chest (Tansu) radiates warmth in its reddish-brown tones. Strong iron fittings, brackets, handles, and lock plates, lend a sense of permanence, while the interplay of drawers and sliding doors with circular iron plates creates rhythm and balance. Every detail reflects the cultural heritage of Japanese interiors: utility refined into elegance. Time has left its mark in the chest’s patina, transforming it into not just furniture, but a living testament to artistry and tradition.

Here at Sinclair's Antiques and Interiors we do our utmost best to ensure all our items are described and photographed to show any flaws or damage such as shrinkage splits, losses or lifts to veneer, repairs or marks. However, giving the age and the fact that each piece will have had years of polishing to create its own individual character we cannot describe every minor mark separately and therefore recommend you either visit our warehouse or request extra photographs.
