Antique Japanese Two-Section Chadansu Tea Cabinet in Zelkova with Lattice Window and Many Drawers - Meiji/Taisho
== DESCRIPTION ==
A finely made Japanese tea cabinet (chadansu) in two sections, in figured zelkova (keyaki) with a warm, aged red-brown patina. The upper section has sliding panel doors, a glazed display compartment with a decorative lattice (koshi) window and an ogee shelf, and a built-in drawer; the lower section holds a sliding-door cupboard and a column of five small drawers plus three wide drawers, all with metal swing handles. Interior lined with traditional paper. The two sections separate for transport. A practical and decorative piece with plenty of storage.

The original character has been left untouched. All photographs show the piece as it is; please study the detail photos carefully, as they form part of the description.
