Japanese Lacquered Tansu Chest Japanese Tansu chest %%alt5%% %%alt6%%
A striking Japanese lacquered Tansu chest in excellent antique condition. The wood has developed a deep reddish-brown patina, beautifully offset by ornate black iron hardware. The chest features a well-balanced arrangement of drawers and compartments, including a hinged door and smaller internal drawers, offering versatile storage. The ironwork is particularly noteworthy: the central lock plate is adorned with a finely cast turtle motif, symbolising longevity, while the upper section features a dynamic bird in flight, representing protection and strength. The original working key is present, fitting smoothly into the lock mechanism and securing the cabinet with ease. This piece reflects the seamless blend of function and craftsmanship found in traditional Japanese cabinetry. Its balanced form, symbolic hardware, and lacquered patina suit both period and modern interiors.

Here at Sinclair's Antiques and Interiors we do our utmost best to ensure all our items are described and photographed to show any flaws or damage such as shrinkage splits, losses or lifts to veneer, repairs or marks. However, giving the age and the fact that each piece will have had years of polishing to create its own individual character we cannot describe every minor mark separately and therefore recommend you either visit our warehouse or request extra photographs.
