Antique Japanese Small Chest — 1920s, Taisho Era (SKU: 25M-A334)
The Quiet Precision of Everyday Grace

This delightful antique Japanese chest, with its five full-length drawers and two smaller top compartments, exudes a gentle strength and quiet sophistication.

These elegant pulls are not merely hardware—they are ornaments of tradition, whispering of kimono fabrics, folded linens, and peaceful mornings filled with light.
