About the Item
This is a traditional black chest of drawers in Japan.
It is believed to have been made around the Meiji period, and is made of chestnut wood.
Its distinctive feature is that the handle is placed closer to the center than usual, giving it an unusual appearance.
Some parts are roughly made and uneven, but this creates the unique atmosphere of this chest of drawers.
The drawers are wide, and chestnut wood is also used inside. The interior is also in very good condition.
It has been used next to the hearth for many years, soot has accumulated and it has turned a natural black color. It has a natural color that cannot be expressed in a new product, and with the addition of scratches and peeling paint, it seems to be a work of art that expresses the natural changes that come with years of use.
Its simple design complements the interior. It can also be used as a sideboard. It is an item that adds the beauty of wabi-sabi to modern interiors.
