Japanese Antique Large BK Tansu 1860s-1900s / Cabinet Sideboard Wabi Sabi

About the Item

This chest of drawers is a rare piece with a good overall construction, with linear decorations on the doors. Judging from the metal parts, it seems to be quite old. Since the original quality is high, it was probably used in a wealthy home. The key doesn't work. It has been carefully maintained so as not to damage the overall old texture. The doors also move smoothly. It is in the best condition for furniture from this era. You can use it with confidence. This piece is reminiscent of the spirit of wabi-sabi, the Japanese philosophy of finding beauty in imperfection and impermanence. The opposite of vulgarity, the beauty of modesty and modesty, and unconventional beauty. This is a one-of-a-kind item that is very rare. Weight: Approximately 50 kg. Since ancient times, people have made the necessary tools from familiar materials to survive in the harsh battle with nature, passed them down, and cultivated a lifestyle and culture. These objects acquire character through years of use and reflect a way of life. The harsher the natural environment and the weaker the people, the stronger their power. In an age where cheap, disposable products are encouraged, the act of repeatedly modifying and remaking everyday objects opens up new worlds. Based on this philosophy, we collect beautiful, powerful and unique antiques carefully selected from Japan.
