A small Japanese tansu chest
Late 19th/early 20th century
Appears unmarked
Likely constructed out of pine wood, the small storage chest with one large drawer set above seven smaller drawers of varying size, each with various iron pulls locking mechanisms, and iron corner guards
24" H x 25.5" W x 12" D

Overall fair to good condition with scattered scuffs, scratches, nicks, shrinkage cracks, indentations, and separation at joints commensurate with age. The back panels are particularly loose. As well, it appears as though this chest has likely been stripped of its original finish, leaving the raw wood as the exposed surface. Lacking key(s). Condition reports are offered as a courtesy and are typically published in Moran's catalogue or can be made available upon request. The absence of a condition report does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of others. Buyers are responsible for determining to their own satisfaction the true nature and condition of any lot prior to bidding. Though buyers are not legally required to inspect lots prior to purchase, failure to do so may constitute a waiver of complaint that an item was not delivered in a condition equal to the existent condition at the auction.
