Antique Japanese 4 Drawer Kyodai Vanity Tansu Mullberry Wood 14" Haribako

This is an antique Taisho era (c 1920's) kyodai (vanity tansu chest) with a unique arrangement of four drawers. Made of the finest mulberry wood drawer faces and keyaki casing. Where once there were arms to hold a mirror the top has been filled in (see photos). Makes for a great jewelry case or desk organizer.

This chest has been well used yet well loved, and it remains, with exception of limited past signs of use and some minor restoration, in fine condition. It measures 13.75" wide by 9 1/2" high by 8 1/4" deep.  A very solidly built, great piece of Japanese history; and also makes a great vanity, jewelry box or a classic desk top organizer today.
