Japanese Antique Tansu 1860s-1900s / Sideboard Wabi Sabi #02
Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba
This is a historically significant Japanese Tansu cabinet, crafted from cedar wood during the Meiji period (1860s–1900s).
Its minimalist and refined design embodies traditional Japanese aesthetics, bringing a sense of understated elegance and serene presence to any interior. Over time, the cedar wood has developed a warm, rich patina, enhancing the cabinet’s unique character and depth.
A distinctive feature of this piece is the lattice at the upper back, designed to provide ventilation.
The sliding doors operate smoothly, and the piece has been carefully cleaned and disinfected, ready for immediate use. Its condition is excellent considering its age.
This Tansu reflects the philosophy of *wabi-sabi*, finding beauty in imperfection and impermanence. Its understated elegance contrasts with conventional opulence, making it a rare and distinctive work of craftsmanship.
Additionally, this cabinet can be paired and stacked with the Japanese Antique Tansu...

Vintage Storage Cabinets and Antique Case Pieces for Sale: Shop Credenzas, Sideboards, Bookcases and Dressers on 1stDibs
Of all the vintage storage cabinets and antique case pieces that have become popular in modern interiors over the years, dressers, credenzas and cabinets have long been home staples, perfect for routine storage or protection of personal items.
In the mid-19th century, cabinetmakers would mimic styles originating in the Louis XIV, Louis XV and Louis XVI eras for their dressers, bookshelves and other structures, and, later, simpler, streamlined wood designs allowed these “case pieces” or “case goods” — any furnishing that is unupholstered and has some semblance of a storage component — to blend into the background of any interior.
Mid-century modern furniture enthusiasts will cite the tall modular wall units crafted in teak and other sought-after woods of the era by the likes of George Nelson, Poul Cadovius and Finn Juhl. For these highly customizable furnishings, designers of the day delivered an alternative to big, heavy bookcases by considering the use of space — and, in particular, walls — in new and innovative ways. Mid-century modern credenzas, which, long and low, evolved from tables that were built as early as the 14th century in Italy, typically have no legs or very short legs and have grown in popularity as an alluring storage option over time.
Although the name immediately invokes images of clothing, dressers were initially created in Europe for a much different purpose. This furnishing was initially a flat-surfaced, low-profile side table equipped with a few drawers — a common fixture used to dress and prepare meats in English kitchens throughout the Tudor period. The drawers served as perfect utensil storage. It wasn’t until the design made its way to North America that it became enlarged and equipped with enough space to hold clothing and cosmetics. The very history of case pieces is a testament to their versatility and well-earned place in any room.
In the spirit of positioning your case goods center stage, decluttering can now be design-minded.
A contemporary case piece with open shelving and painted wood details can prove functional as a storage unit as easily as it can a room divider. Alternatively, apothecary cabinets are charming case goods similar in size to early dressers or commodes but with uniquely sized shelving and (often numerous) drawers.
Whether you’re seeking a playful sideboard that features colored glass and metal details, an antique Italian hand-carved storage cabinet or a glass-door vitrine to store and show off your collectibles, there are options for you on 1stDibs.
