Description

This exquisite vintage Japanese ko tansu from the late Meiji era (1868-1912) is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibilities of its time. The chest features a sturdy fir wood body, providing a robust foundation that ensures durability. Complementing the fir body, the drawer fronts and interiors are crafted from kiri wood, prized for its lightweight nature and resistance to insects and humidity, making it ideal for preserving delicate items.

The design is enhanced by cast iron metal fittings, which add both functional strength and decorative charm. The corners are reinforced with cast iron, lending the piece a rugged elegance and additional protection. The cast iron handles are meticulously designed, reflecting the attention to detail characteristic of Meiji-era craftsmanship.

This ko tansu comprises a mix of six drawers in various sizes, offering versatile storage solutions. The thoughtfully arranged drawers accommodate a range of items, from small accessories to larger belongings, making it a practical addition to any space. The harmonious combination of fir and kiri woods, along with the intricate cast iron accents, results in a piece that is not only functional but also a beautiful representation of late Meiji-era artistry and design.
