Description

Antique Japanese Section Kimono Tansu Chest With Hidden Compartment And Decorative Hardware, Kiri, Meiji Era (SKU 25S-B406)

This stunning antique Japanese 2-section kimono tansu, crafted from fine kiri wood (paulownia), exemplifies the refined artistry and practicality of the Meiji era. Its smooth grain and warm natural tone highlight the beauty of the wood, while the decorative iron hardware adds both strength and elegance — hallmarks of traditional Japanese craftsmanship.

Designed for the storage of kimonos and other garments, this chest features four spacious drawers that provide generous storage capacity. A particularly intriguing detail lies behind the second drawer from the top, where a hidden compartment is cleverly concealed — a signature feature in antique Japanese cabinetry, used to safeguard valuables or important documents.

Elegant in form and rich in character, this kimono tansu captures the perfect balance between function and beauty, making it an ideal centerpiece for both traditional and modern interiors.
