About the Item

This is a wooden drawer made of cedar wood from the Meiji and Taisho periods (circa 1868-1920) in Japan. The warm texture peculiar to cedar wood stands out, and the rustic simplicity of the construction gives it a deep, unique antique flavor. It is rare to find cedar wood with such a rich atmosphere, and the beauty of the natural wood tones and textures created by the aging process is its greatest appeal. The edges of the main body and drawers are rounded after years of use, which gives the overall impression of softness and friendliness. The sides are fitted with thicker handle fittings that have a strong presence, and are a tight accent in terms of both function and design. It remains in very good condition with no noticeable loss. It is also practical for storing small items and can be used in various aspects of daily life, such as at the bedside or in the living room. The drawers slide smoothly in and out. It will add a calm atmosphere to your space while blending in exquisitely with contemporary interiors. It is highly recommended as a rare and attractive antique item that is not easily found on the market. Size: Width 61.3 cm (64.3 cm including side fittings), Depth 30.5 cm, Height 39 cm Weight: 8.85 kg [We are a company consisting of four different stores with four different brands. We offer a wide range of attractive items from all over the world with a focus on Japanese items. We offer Japanese antique furniture and tools that are different from the Japanese antique furniture and art that have been appreciated abroad. These tools were used in private homes and farmhouses in the past. They have been passed through a long time and have an attractive taste. The reality is that many of these items are now being discarded along with the demolition of houses. We are on a mission to re-evaluate these fascinating old objects and preserve them for future generations. And we have seen tens of thousands of items so far. We have used that experience to list the most fascinating items here. We can do this because of our long experience. We will rediscover the "beauty" produced in the life and culture of the common people, which is different from the Japanese art and culture that is known and scattered around the world, and present it to the world. ]
