Japanese Tansu Cabinet with Sliding Doors, Storage Furniture, 1910s

This Japanese tansu is a strong, functional piece with a warm, timeworn surface and a beautiful tonal contrast.

Dimensions: height 92 cm, width 84.5 cm, depth 45.5 cm.

The chestnut reddish-brown panels gain extra depth from the black frame, giving the cabinet a calm yet powerful presence in a room. At the front are two sliding doors; inside, a practical shelf divides the storage into two levels—ideal for tableware, linens, paperwork, or everyday items. At the bottom, two wide drawers provide space for anything you prefer to keep out of sight. The original iron hardware and understated pulls complete the piece and underline its characteristic Japanese simplicity.

Condition: honest, attractive antique condition with patina and normal wear consistent with age. There are ink marks inside the drawers (see photos). One sliding door is not perfectly flat and shows a slight waviness, but this does not affect use.

Sturdy and functional, and also a beautiful piece for styling ceramics, art, or a plant.

Shipping & pickup: pickup in Antwerp possible; worldwide shipping on request.
