Antique Japanese Small Drawer (SKU 25D-386)

Compact three-drawer Japanese tansu chest with warm Taishō-era character

This small Japanese drawer chest is a beautifully proportioned example of everyday tansu furniture, crafted in solid wood with a rich, honey-brown patina. The vertical grain of the case contrasts with the lively, cloud-like figuring on the drawer fronts, creating a subtle yet elegant presence that suits both traditional and modern interiors.

Three smoothly fitted drawers, each finished with original iron warabite-style pulls, make this piece ideal for storing writing tools, documents, or tea utensils on a desk, shelf, or floor. Its understated joinery and gently rounded edges reflect the practical refinement of early 20th-century Japanese craftsmanship.

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.
