Rare Two Section Clothing Chest from Yahata, Sado Island Japanese Antique Furniture

Spectacular two-section isho dansu (clothing chest) from Yahata, Sado Island, Niigata Prefecture, Japan. Yahata clothing chests are known for their ornate, hand-forged iron hardware and larger size. The ironwork features an abundance of auspicious symbols, including crane, tortoise, lucky gods, pine, plum, and bamboo, moneybags, etc. These indicate the chest was originally a wedding chest. There is plenty of room to accommodate a modern American's clothing storage needs, while not losing the stunning look of a Meiji Era tansu.
