Wear commensurate with age and use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">Original Japanese tansu chest of drawers from the Taish\u014d to early Sh\u014dwa period, a time marked by the formal refinement of traditional furniture and a growing aesthetic sobriety, without sacrificing craftsmanship or material quality.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The piece is made entirely of paulownia (<i>Paulownia spp.<\/i>), known in Japan as kiri, a light, stable, and moisture-resistant wood traditionally used for storing textiles, kimonos, and personal belongings due to its excellent preservation properties.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Its design presents a clear and balanced composition of four large drawers, reinforced with discreet iron fittings on corners and fronts. Recessed handles and circular metal latches lend the piece a functional and austere character, characteristic of early 20th-century Japanese furniture.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The straight grain of the paulownia, together with the warm patina developed over time, gives the cabinet a serene and timeless presence. Its clean, restrained design allows it to integrate naturally into contemporary interiors, as well as wabi-sabi or Japandi spaces.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">An honest and elegant piece originally conceived for everyday use, now ideal as a <a href=\"https:\/\/amaruantiques.com\/en\/product-category\/antique-chest-of-drawers\/\">chest of drawers<\/a>, low sideboard, or storage cabinet with strong decorative value.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The state of conservation is optimal, except for the characteristic imperfections of any antique produced by the passage of time.<\/p>\n<p>Give a point of originality to your home with a unique piece, which merges with the contemporary style bringing personality to your home. This Japanese antique chest can be combined with any of our <a href=\"https:\/\/amaruantiques.com\/en\/product-category\/antique-wooden-bowls\/\">wooden bowls<\/a> or with our available<a href=\"https:\/\/amaruantiques.com\/en\/product-category\/antique-stools\/\"> antique stools<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>ONE OF A KIND<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Antique Japanese Tansu merchant&#8217;s chest of drawers &#8211; Taish\u014d \/ Showa period (c.1912-1945) Dimensions: Length: 91 cm Depth: 39 cm Height: 108 cm Style: Showa Materials and techniques: Paulownia (Paulownia spp.) Place of origin: Japan Epoch: Late Taish\u014d, early Showa period Date of manufacture: Circa 1912-1945 Condition: Good.
