DescriptionAntique Japanese tansu hand crafted from traditional Kiri (paulownia) wood, dating to the Taisho period (early 20th century). Kiri wood has long been prized in Japan for its light weight, fine straight grain, and natural resistance to humidity and insects, making it an ideal material for protective storage furniture. The cabinet’s warm, naturally aged surface highlights the understated beauty and quiet refinement characteristic of Japanese design.This tansu features an elegant double hinged door configuration, opening to reveal a practical interior fitted with shelving for organized storage. Such designs were favored for clothing, textiles, and household objects, where both accessibility and protection were essential. Beneath the doors, a single full-width pull-out drawer provides additional concealed storage while preserving the cabinet’s balanced proportions.Age: Taisho period Circa 1920’sDimensions: 35″ wide x 39″ high x 16 1/2″ deep
