Description

Vintage Japanese Small Drawer (SKU 25D-282)

Compact three-drawer tansu-style chest with warm Showa-era character.

This small Japanese drawer chest, or ko-tansu, features three neatly aligned drawers framed in a simple rectilinear case. The warm honey-brown finish highlights the grain of the solid wood, while the aged iron warabite-style pulls add a subtle industrial note typical of early 20th-century workshop and merchant furnishings.

Originally used on a desk or shelf for storing documents, writing tools, or sewing notions, this versatile piece brings authentic wabi-sabi charm to any interior. Its compact footprint makes it ideal as a tabletop organizer, bedside storage, or display stand, blending seamlessly with both traditional Japanese and modern minimalist decor.

  • Origin: Japan
  • Era: Showa period (circa 1930s)
  • Material: Wood with iron hardware
  • Use: Desk-top ko-tansu for documents, stationery, or small accessories
  • Features: Three smooth-running drawers; original iron half-moon pulls; warm aged patina; visible joinery and surface wear consistent with antique Japanese furniture
  • Dimensions: 6 3/4"W x 9 3/4"D x 9 1/4"H 
  • Condition: Very good vintage condition with attractive wear, scratches, and small marks from use

A quietly elegant storage piece that brings genuine Showa-era atmosphere to your home or studio.

 

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.
