Japanese Antique Large Black Tansu 1860s-1900s / wabi sabi Sideboard

About the Item

If you want something special, we recommend purchasing items selected by Brood. We sell carefully selected old Japanese items. I've seen tens of thousands of items so far. Based on that experience, only selected items are posted here. We are able to do this because of our long experience. There may be items on the 1stdibs site that look and feel the same, but the items selected by Brood are unique. Very old large black chest of drawers, made in Japan. Furniture from the Meiji era. (1860s-1900s) Material is cedar wood. Black chest of drawers used in rural areas in northern Japan. Item used with great care, repeatedly repaired and painted. Design is simple and rustic. No unnecessary design, ultimate simplicity. Beautiful lattice doors. Doors and drawers move smoothly. Storage interior has been washed and disinfected with water. Best condition for furniture of this period. Can be used with peace of mind. A very valuable piece of Japanese furniture with a wabi-sabi aesthetic. This is difficult to obtain even in Japan. Highly recommended! There are few stores that sell such things in 1stdibs. We sell with confidence. Also, I want many people to know the goodness of antiques, so I set the price reasonably.
