About the Item
The patina on this elm wood tansu chest is reflective and deep. The brass also has had time to develop a deep patina that contrasts the elmwood. It mixes wonderfully with other periods and styles--a great accent piece. This majestic tansu chest has two top drawers and a main storage area below. It is late 19th century. The chest is made of elm. The case with engraved brass has hardware fitted with two short drawers over two cupboard doors opening to a cabinet area over a shaped skirt, all raised on short curved feet. The front of the chest, engraved and embellished with brass hinges is dramatic.
The word "tansu" generally refers to Japanese furniture, but the precise meaning translates to chest or container. The chests originated during the Edo period around 1603 in Japan.
The chest measures 22.5 inches wide, the depth is 15. The height is 22.75 inches.
