Description

Vintage Japanese Small Drawer, 1930s, Showa Era (SKU 25D-219)

Showa-era glass-front tansu-style small cabinet with single drawer

This compact wooden cabinet captures the understated charm of early Showa-period Japanese furniture. Crafted in warm, dark-stained hardwood, it features a simple rectilinear form reminiscent of a small tansu, with a framed glass door above and a practical storage drawer below.

The glass-front door allows you to display treasured objects or everyday tea utensils while keeping them protected, while the lower drawer with its original metal cup pull offers additional storage for small items. Subtle wear, a rich patina, and traditional joinery give this piece an authentic vintage presence that suits both Japanese and modern interiors.

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.
