Rare, Japanese Kyûshû 九州 ishô’dansu 衣装箪笥 (chest of drawers)
About the Item
Rare and richly adorned wooden Kyûshû ishô'dansu (cabinet of drawers) in a single section, on a plinth.
Fully restored, cleaned and waxed.
The drawer faces are made of indigenous kiri (paulownia) wood varnished in a sought after warm brown hue, a colour that we like to call ‘golden oak’. Complemented by a vibrant crimson lacquered wooden exterior, even the back. Richly clad with decorative hardware with reticulated floral designs.
Configured with six drawers of different shape and a hinged door. Opening to three more small drawers with red lacquer finish.
The large decorative lock plated with raised flower shaped knobs. Flanked by sturdy iron ‘mokkô’-shaped bail handles with large en-suite escutcheons.
The doors and drawers operate smoothly, offering deep and voluminous storage space.
Each side is equipped with a pair of slender ‘warabite’-shaped totte (grip handles) and a ‘pole-carrying’-handle for easy transport.
