This is a beautiful vintage Japanese mini tansu chest, crafted with expressive natural wood grain and reinforced with traditional black iron corner brackets and handles. The warm coloration and flowing grain pattern highlight the charm of mid-Showa woodworking, making this a functional yet highly decorative piece. Based on the construction, hardware style, and finish, this chest was likely produced during the Showa era (circa 1960s–1980s). The metal fittings—ribbed pulls, round decorative plates, and corner reinforcements—are characteristic of small domestic tansu made for personal storage. The interior of the drawers is lined with red felt, adding both elegance and practicality for storing jewelry, watches, accessories, stationery, or small collectibles. All drawers slide smoothly and maintain their original structure. This compact tansu blends beautifully into modern interiors while preserving the traditional aesthetics of Japanese craftsmanship. A wonderful piece for collectors or anyone looking to add authentic Japanese design to their home. ⸻ Dimensions • Height: 28 cm • Width: 24 cm • Depth: 20 cm ⸻ Condition • Vintage condition with minor wear consistent with age. • Small scratches and light marks on wood surfaces. • Metal fittings show mild patina. • Drawers are clean and lined, minimal signs of use. • No structural damage.
