Antique Japanese Merchant Chest — 1920s, Taisho Era (SKU: 25M-G318)
Where Commerce and Craft Converge
This classic merchant’s tansu was once the silent partner in a small shop, holding ledgers, stamps, and important documents behind sliding doors and stacked drawers. The asymmetry and practicality of its layout, paired with its light oak finish, reflect the intersection of trade and tradition in early 20th-century Japan.
The piece’s compact form and intricate drawer arrangement offer both aesthetic delight and practical use. Ideal as an accent piece in a hallway or study, it brings the industrious spirit of the Taisho era into the modern home.
