Description

Antique Japanese Small Drawer (SKU 25D-158-1)

Compact Taishō-era tansu drawer with warm aged patina

This petite antique Japanese drawer once formed part of a larger tansu chest, and now stands alone as a characterful storage piece. The rich, reddish-brown finish has mellowed over time, revealing a fine straight grain and subtle wear that speaks to decades of daily use.

Traditional joinery is visible at the corner, with small plugged nail holes and honest surface marks that add to its wabi-sabi charm. Ideal for presenting incense, tea utensils, or stationery, it also works beautifully as a display riser or as an insert within a contemporary shelving system.

  • Era: Taishō period (1912–1926), circa 1920s
  • Material: Solid hardwood with stained finish
  • Use: Small tansu drawer, desktop or shelf storage, display riser

  • Dimensions: 4 1/2"W x 6 1/2"D x 4 1/2"H

A versatile fragment of Taishō-era craftsmanship, ready to bring quiet Japanese character to any space.

As part of our mission to preserve and share Japanese craftsmanship, we offer antiques that were made not just to be admired, but to be used. These pieces were crafted for everyday life, and we honor their purpose by ensuring they can continue to be enjoyed and lived with today.

We use professional studio lighting to highlight the natural character of the wood. As a result, the tone may appear slightly warmer than under natural daylight.

All vintage and antique items are sold as-is. Each piece may exhibit signs of age, including scratches, wear, or minor imperfections. These are not considered defects but natural evidence of the item’s authenticity and age.
