Description:
This is a stunning late Meiji Period (c.1880-1890) Sendai Tansu. This particular tansu is the form desirable two-part form and was used to store Samurai clothing. Sendai Tansu are characterized by beuatiful forged and cast iron fittings. The earlier Sendai Tansu iron work was more masculine and heavier in form. This late Meiji tansu features lacey, beautifully hand chased iron work that is detailed with figures and "The Three Friends", bamboo, Plum and pine trees. The tansu is in exceptionally good original condition: the surface is nearly blemish-free; it has lost two of its original side lift handles (replacements are on order) and the keys are MIA.
