Japanese antique black chest "staircase chest" (late Edo period-Meiji period) / tansu cabinet
It is a chest of drawers from the late Edo period to the Meiji period (1800-1912) in Japan.
This was called "kaidan-tansu", and when a person went up to the second floor of the house, the stairs were made as a chest of drawers.
There were many around the Edo period.
It was used in some wealthy homes and shops.
Originally, it has two parts, upper and lower, and is taller than five steps.
This remains only in the upper part.
There is almost no such thing in Japanese houses today.
It's very valuable.
You can also sit down.
You can also use it as an exhibition stand.
Since it is an antique item, it may have small scratches or defects, worm-eaten marks, or warped wood.
Please consent in advance.
