ANTIQUE CHA DANSU CHEST   SOLD

$425.00

Chadansu were used to hold items used in the preparation of tea, and to display prizes tea cups and bowls. Like most tansu they are designed with asymmetrical shelves and drawers, and these often have cutouts in the shape of flowers or leaves on the side panels as decorative motifs that double as carrying handles.

We believe that this particular chest is from the Taisho period or earlier.


This Tansu Tea Chest is a gorgeous, delicate antique. It needs some slight restoration, but nothing having to do with nicks or scratches. The surface of the wood is in excellent condition. Because no nails were used in its design, there are some loose pieces. That's all.

Pieces such as this are rare. It is a decorative piece for the Zen home. 43 1/2 " H 33" W 13" D
