About the Item
A Japanese Meiji period Isho Dansu clothing chest from the 19th century with reddish brown lacquer, iron hardware, five drawers and a side door revealing two additional hidden drawers. Exuding an aura of refined grace and practicality, this 19th-century Japanese Meiji period Isho Dansu clothing chest is a treasure steeped in history. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the chest features a rich reddish-brown lacquer that embraces the soul of traditional Japanese artistry.
The rectangular top, complemented by a linear silhouette, sets a canvas for the exquisite iron hardware. While the linear handles maintain a minimalist aesthetic, the ornate medallion locks imbue the chest with an elegant character. The chest comprises five drawers that once had a transverse bar for the two middle drawers, hinting at its past and enhancing its antique charm. A side door with ornate iron hardware, reveals two additional hidden drawers, adding an element of surprise and functionality.
As a traveling piece, this Isho Dansu clothing chest is equipped with lateral handles that are meant to be lifted for transportation, epitomizing both form and function.
Resting flat on the ground, the chest is sturdy and dignified. The back exhibits a more distressed finish, recounting the tales of its travels and the passage of time.
This magnificent chest, with its sumptuous lacquer and artful iron hardware, is emblematic of the Meiji period’s craftsmanship. Whether placed in a bedroom to store clothing or used as an accent piece in a living area, it is destined to be a conversation starter.
