Japanese Keyaki Merchant (Tansu) Chest Japanese tansu merchant %%alt5%% %%alt6%%
A fabulous Japanese Keyaki merchant chest (Tansu) in excellent antique condition. Crafted from the highly prized Japanese elm, (Keyaki ) so sought after in quality cabinetry. The piece features a beautifully arranged mix of drawers and cupboards, all fitted with their original forged‑iron hardware, drawer pulls, corner brackets, and lock plates, each showing an attractive, time‑softened patina. The upper cupboard is particularly striking, fitted with engraved oval plates depicting a traditional Japanese landscape, adding a refined decorative touch. The combination of solid Keyaki construction and hand‑forged metalwork suggests this chest was made for a merchant of status or for a specialised trade, where both durability and presentation mattered. This is a standout Tansu, rich in character and craftsmanship. It works effortlessly in both traditional and contemporary interiors and provides practical storage for a wide range of household items while serving as a strong decorative focal point.

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.
