About the Item

This Japanese antique storage cabinet was crafted in the Taisho Era (1912–1926). Made from zelkova wood (keyaki), this piece showcases a rich grain pattern that adds warmth and sophistication to any interior. The wood’s natural texture has aged beautifully over time, offering a unique patina that only antique materials can provide. The cabinet stands on slightly elevated legs, giving it a light and graceful presence while also making floor cleaning easier. One notable detail is the kendon-style doors—a traditional Japanese design where each panel is lifted upward to open or remove. This practical mechanism allows easy access to the interior while preserving a clean, minimal appearance when closed. Offering ample storage space in a compact form, this cabinet is not only practical but also a beautiful expression of Japanese craftsmanship. Its understated elegance and timeless design make it suitable for both traditional and contemporary spaces. Cleaned and disinfected with a non-toxic solution. The doors and drawers move smoothly. As an antique piece, minor scratches and marks may be present, each adding to its unique charm and the story it tells over time. It has been carefully inspected and remains in excellent antique condition, with natural signs of age that enhance its character. Weight :44.1lbs(20kg) Shipping Information We ship from Japan.
