Object description :

"Japanese Craft Furniture - Edo First Half Of The 19th Century"
This "tansu" (chest of drawers in Japanese) dates from the first half of the 19th century. It is made of paulownia wood, nicknamed "imperial tree" in Japan. The corners and edges are reinforced with metal - the drawers are decorated with fittings - in a compact format, it has 12 drawers. Condition: due to its age, this piece of furniture shows multiple wear, numerous scratches, shocks from use, impacts on the edges. The fittings are oxidized - one fitting is missing from one drawer (see photo) - shock to the upper edge (see photo with arrow). One drawer is coming loose. Dark / slightly mauve / reddish tint. Robust, stable. The craftsman sought the balance between wood and fittings with oriental curves. This piece of furniture, which has lived, thus has the "wabi sabi" aspect dear to the Japanese: it is a spiritual and aesthetic concept, derived from Zen Buddhist principles. "Wabi" means simplicity, melancholy, nature - "sabi" is the alteration of time, the taste of aged things, the patina of objects.
