Description

 
This is an antique Japanese small wooden chest of drawers (ko-dansu), dating back to the Taisho or early Showa period. It was traditionally used as a utilitarian storage piece in merchant households or for keeping ledgers.

The chest features a compact design with multiple drawers. It is crafted from solid natural wood, showcasing a distinct "tamamoku" (burl wood grain) pattern on its exterior. The second drawer from the top was designed to function as an inkstone box (suzuri-bako). The drawers are fitted with metal pulls and ring handles.

Height: 23.0 cm / 9.05 in
Width: 20.5 cm / 8.07 in
Depth: 25.5 cm / 10.03 in
Weight: 2350 g / 5.18 lbs

The chest is in antique condition, showing signs of aging and historical use. The interior of the second drawer is heavily stained with black ink (sumi), which is a common characteristic given its function as an inkstone box. There are surface scratches, scuffs, natural wear to the wood, and surface oxidation on the metal hardware.

Please check the photos carefully for details.
