Japanese Furniture Tansu Drawer Front




This is stunning! This is a drawer front from a tansu furniture (Japanese set of drawers). It is in Meiji Period (1868~) and made of Japanese cedar ("Sugi" in Japanese). There is a diamond shape metal work near the keyhole (family crest of family who owned this furniture). It is lacquered . It combined sophisticated style with the highest quality craftsmanship and finest materials to create it. 

There is a lock but no key. There are scratches on the wood and there is rust on the metal but I think it just adds to the charm of it. There are also holes that you can see on the back. They go through to the front but are basically covered by the lock.


We will combine shipping if you buy from any of our stores.

It measures 27 x 23.8 x 2 cm. Given the size, this must be shipped EMS express shipping (which includes both insurance and tracking) .


***********Please look at the pictures carefully and notice the imperfections. 

Please note-if you buy this along with other items, I will weigh the package and refund the extra shipping. Because of the size of this, it is extremely difficult to set a "buy this with another item" price. Thanks for understanding. If you have any questions, please ask. :)


If you are in Africa, please ask for a shipping quote.

This is a great vintage Japanese door pull!! Hikite


This is a great vintage Japanese door pull!! In Japan, sliding doors are very common and these are used in the sliding doors. 3 in package. These would be fabulous as frames for your art, a small dish for teeny tiny objects etc.

It is from the "昭和" "showa period" . The "showa" period is from 1926-1989.

Japanese Branding Iron @Etsy




This is a vintage branding iron called a "yakiin". These were/are used on wood, leather...food...anything you want to brand. Please see the last picture to see an example of how it can be used.

https://www.etsy.com/shop/VintageFromJapan?section_id=6310066

I think they would look fabulous if used in pottery as a stamp. Also...I think they could be used with ink but as it is metal, the image wouldn't be as smooth and clear as a rubber stamp -please keep that in mind if that is how you want to use it.

They are from the "昭和" "showa period" . The "showa" period is from 1926-1989 but these are at least 30 years old.


This is made of iron. Please look at the pictures carefully 


It measures 22cm long x 2 cm (the stamp) wide.
