Japanese Fine Arts Crafts Antique Handcrafted Wood Tansu Cabinet

Description

**
Guaranteed Authentic**
This is a hard to find antique smaller tansu storage chest/cabinet hand crafted with beautifully selected grained wood and fine lines and a multitude of storage features and options. It is in remarkably clean original "natural" condition. It is very strong yet surprisingly light weight and easy to move around.
It is 100% original and in fine antique condition with Zelcova (elm) and Kiri (Princess tree) woods construction, and originally the hard to find original upper section of a two section piece.
A fine Japanese antique multiple drawer bottom feature plus two sliding doors, with 16" deep drawers handy to have for documents, records, and smalls. Handles are original hand wrought iron hardware.
Meiji Period, 1890
Leave it to the Japanese master craftsmen to create this amazing practical and useful storage chest crafted from natural kiri wood. Also known as Paulownia, the Japanese kiri specifically refers to P. tomentosa; it is also known as the "princess tree". It was once customary to plant a Paulownia tree when a baby girl was born, and then to make it into a dresser as a wedding present when she married. Paulownia is also the mon (clan symbol) of the office of prime minister and also serves as the emblem of the cabinet and the government (the chrysanthemum being the Imperial Seal of Japan).
Excellent, clean original condition just the way we like to find them!

is a proud member and partner of the North American Japanese Garden Association (NAJGA) specializing for twenty years now in old and authentic Japanese stone garden antiques.
Mr.Schneible personally travels to Japan each year to meet his network partners who assist him in finding best examples. He personally inspects each antique to ensure its old age, authenticity and quality condition. After accumulating a group, they are imported to Vermont and Maine in large containers. This method keeps shipping costs low and enables us to offer them to you at excellent prices. We carefully pack and ship to clients not only in the United States but Internationally as well. And at the lowest shipping costs.
We do not offer repaired quality or "mixed stone" stone sculpture or lanterns for example that some European exporters & American importers do for lack of expertise.

When you partner with us, you do not have to worry about finding expensive customs brokers or needlessly stress about when or if you will get safe delivery of your garden antiques.  From extensive experience, we carefully pack and ship our individual stone works "double boxed" and our lanterns on sturdy wooden pallets and then use the best rated truck carriers. You will be notified in advance when your garden antiques will be safely delivered. We pay extra for "liftgate" delivery service which means when the truck arrives at your location they can immediately lower the pallets off the truck via the truck's lift gate and place the pallets without need of any additional help. We can always provide you with complimentary installation tips and advice to ensure your success.
We feel extremely fortunate to offer you these wonderful antique treasures- carefully sourced and handled from fabled old Japanese gardens- unique sculptural art which we feel you, your friends, and your family will enjoy forever.
