Futon Tansu

$5500

This traditional Japanese stacking chest would have been used to store futons and bedding during the day. The large gliding doors and spacious inner compartments with central shelves kept futons and blankets near at hand when it was time for bed.

A century later it is perfect for holding all sorts of food, utensils, small appliances and other kitchen related items.

Like all tansu, the focus is on the warmth and beauty of the wood, in this case wonderfully strong yet light kiri wood. The hand forged iron hardware, traditional hirute shaped handles, floral zagane detail on the backplates, and a sliding lock pin on the doors complete the traditional clean-lined look.

Hutches: Then and Now

Cabinetry has a long history in both the East and West, and the one prevailing feature world-wide was that the focus was on the cabinet-maker, and your relationship with him.

The rich would contract a chest from prestigious craftsmen, and it would be designed to the client’s tastes. The antique hutches and china cabinets we have acquired were such pieces, originating in China in the early 1900’s. The hutch and china cabinet has been and continues to be a fixture in many homes around the world. Filled with the finest china and handcrafted by the best artisans, it is a pillar of pride for its owner.
