A handsome wooden tansu 箪笥 (cabinet) in two sections, fitted with extensive blackened iron hardware. Fully restored, cleaned, and waxed in Japan. The frame is constructed from sugi 杉 (Japanese cedar), while the drawer fronts are veneered with hinoki 檜 (Japanese cypress). The cabinet is finished in an attractive warm reddish-brown lacquer. The cabinet is arranged with two full-width drawers, three further drawers of different sizes, and a hinged cupboard door opening to reveal three additional interior drawers. The fronts are fitted with sturdy iron warabite-shaped 蕨手 bail handles and large circular lock plates, finely engraved with a radiating crest-like design. Both sides are equipped with a pair of iron totte 取手 (carrying handles) together with U-shaped pole-carrying fittings, allowing the two sections to be transported more easily, and locking the parts in place. Period: Japan – Taishô period (1912–1926). Dimensions: Height 90 cm (T 44.7 cm, B 45.3 cm), Width 54.2 cm, Depth 42.5 cm. The cabinet is in very good restored condition, with minimal traces of wear consistent with age and use. Please refer to the photographs for a clear impression of the condition. When shipped, a certificate of authenticity will be included.
