This elegant "chest-on-chest" is a fine example of a Japanese Kasane Tansu, a stacking clothing chest. Designed with mobility in mind"”historically to be quickly moved, it consists of two separate stacking sections that lock together. The chest features a warm, reddish-brown finish and is adorned with hand-forged bronze iron hardware. The flush-mounted rectangular handles and protective corner brackets give it that streamlined "Campaign" aesthetic while remaining distinctly Japanese in craftsmanship.

This antique Japanese stacking chest is a versatile solution for modern apartments or smaller bedrooms due to its slim 16.5-inch depth. While standard Western dressers are often too bulky for narrow rooms, this piece sits flush against the wall without encroaching on walkways.
