Ko-dansu (小箪笥), Japanese Low Storage Chest, Meiji Period.

Dimensions: height 20 cm, width 63.5 cm, depth 23 cm.

This traditional drawer chest is made of paulownia wood and has developed a warm patina over the years.

The top drawer is adorned with fabric featuring a floral pattern, while the lower drawer lacks this decoration.

Due to its low height, this handy storage piece is also perfect for use as a unique display for plants, ceramics, or other art objects.

An authentic tansu that adds a serene accent to any stylish interior.

Ko-dansu were traditionally used to store personal items or clothing and were often placed on the floor or on elevated platforms.
