Small Japanese kodansu storage chest made during the Meiji period, late 19th to early 20th century. Designed for storing documents, personal belongings or valuables, it combines a hinged top lid with integrated front drawers.
The piece is primarily crafted from Japanese cedar, valued for its lightness and stability, with reinforced elements and drawer fronts in Japanese zelkova, a highly prized hardwood in traditional Japanese furniture for its strength and attractive grain. The original metal fittings reinforce the structure and corners.
The surface shows a deep, dark patina with signs of use consistent with its age, enhancing its authenticity. A compact yet highly characterful piece, ideal as auxiliary storage, a document chest or an accent object in wabi-sabi or contemporary interiors.
The state of conservation is optimal, except for the characteristic imperfections of any antique produced by the passage of time.
Give a point of originality to your home with a unique piece, which merges with the contemporary style bringing personality to your home. This small antique Japanese chest can be combined with any of our sideboards or with our available antique vases.
