This impressive two-part Tansu cabinet is a powerful piece of functional history, a commanding example of Japanese craftsmanship. Likely dating to the Meiji or TaishÅ periods, this stacked storage chest is defined by its clean, rectilinear form and rich, warm wood patina. The upper section features a cabinet enclosed by sliding doors, offering discreet display or linen storage, while the lower section provides deep storage through two spacious drawers. This Japanese Tansu is anchored by striking original iron hardware, including sturdy drawer pulls and central lock plates. Measuring a substantial 36 inches wide and 54 inches high, this vertical Tansu serves as a versatile accent piece: perfect as a linen cabinet in a bedroom, a distinctive bar or liquor cabinet in a living room, or a unique storage hutch in an office, lending a profound sense of history and organization to any modern space.
