Beautiful Japanese choba tansu (merchant's chest), hardwood with front sliding door panels with a roomy, shelved interior space. Each drawer opens with hirute style iron handles and a simple oval and round plates lock. Its sides are reinforced with horizontal slats. Meiji Period 1868-1912. I love the simplicity and heavy hardware of this piece, very elegant.
