Item Description A charming small three-drawer chest (kodansu) in warm honey-toned teak, dating from Japan's Showa era. Each of the three drawers is fitted with a black lacquered iron ring pull decorated with a delicate cherry-blossom motif, adding a refined touch of traditional Japanese hardware craftsmanship. The case is joined with visible through-dovetails at the top and bottom corners, and the drawer runners are pegged with wooden dowels rather than nails — a hallmark of careful, old-world joinery. The top surface bears a single matching ring-pull handle set on a fan-shaped black mount, allowing the piece to double as a lidded box or be lifted easily by its carrying handle. Inside the case is stamped "ORIGINAL G SOBUE" alongside a small vintage paper trade label, pointing to its origin as a piece of quality mid-century Japanese cabinetry, likely produced for export. Compact and versatile, this little chest is equally at home holding jewellery, stationery, sewing notions or small collectibles, and its clean lines and natural wood grain make it a lovely accent piece for both Japanese-style and Scandinavian-inspired interiors.
