An elegant Japanese drawer chest from the 1970s–1980s, finished in deep, glossy black lacquer and decorated with a refined composition of cranes and reeds.

Dimensions: H 17 × W 25 × D 23 cm.

A graceful scene of silver-toned cranes among slender, reddish-brown reeds extends across both drawer fronts. The delicate lines and warm colour accents create a beautiful contrast with the deep black lacquer.

The chest features two spacious drawers with light wooden interiors. Ornate gold-toned metal ring handles and richly decorated corner fittings add an elegant finishing touch, while also protecting the corners.

Its compact dimensions make it ideal for storing jewellery, personal documents, letters and other small belongings. A charming storage piece for a desk, sideboard or bedroom.

In lovely vintage condition, with normal signs of wear to the lacquer consistent with its age.
