Kuruma'dansu車箪笥 (opbergkist op wielen) - Keyaki' hout (Zelkova - Japanse eik), Hinoki (Japanse cipres) - Japan - Vroege Meiji-periode (tweede helft 19e eeuw)
Sturdy and striking kuruma’dansu 車箪笥 (wheeled storage chest).
Made with precious 'Keyaki' wood (Zelkova - Japanese oak) on the front with a very appealing warm brown lacquered finish. The sides and back are reinforced with hinoki (Japanese cypress) slats over indigenous sugi (cedar) wood varnished in a dark brown hue.
The upper portion of the chest has two full-width drawers held shut with a locking bar 棒 (bo). The lower portion has two medium sized drawers also held shut with another locking bar. Next to a hanged door heavily clad with iron, opening two three interior drawers.
The hardware is made of hand-forged iron and includes ‘warabite’-shaped drawer handles and extensive corner bracing.
The notable feature of a kuruma’dansu is that it is placed on wheels. That in case of a fire that it could be more easily removed from a store house.
Period: Japan – Early Meiji period (Second half 19th century).
Dimensions:
Height 118.1 cm, Width 133.1 cm, Depth 66.8 cm.
