About the Item

This antique storage shelf is made from solid chestnut wood. It has an unusual configuration, with glass sliding doors on the top shelf and six drawers on the bottom shelf. It has a large storage capacity and can be used not only as a bookshelf but also as a cupboard for dishes. The wood has a tasteful aged texture, and the metal fittings on the drawers have a moderate tarnish, giving the overall atmosphere an elegant look. The supports are also chamfered with soft curves, which tightens the overall impression while still giving it a gentle presence. It has a dignified appearance, but its clean lines are not unfashionable. It is a piece that will bring a dignified calm to any space, whether Japanese or Western. Our craftsmen have carefully repaired it and brought it back to life as furniture to be passed on to the next generation. *This is an antique in good condition, but there are small scratches and slight distortions other than those shown in the detailed images. Weight: About Us - Based in Japan, we reinterpret high-quality Japanese furniture from the Taisho period, a fusion of Western culture and Japanese craftsmanship, and upcycle it into "modern Japanese furniture." Each piece is carefully repaired by a skilled craftsman, and reborn as furniture to be passed down to the next generation. We deliver beautiful and functional Japanese furniture that will be loved for generations to come.
