19th Century Japanese Chest

A refined and character-rich 19th-century Japanese console cabinet, featuring 20 functional drawers arranged in a balanced, architectural composition. Crafted using traditional Japanese joinery, the piece is notably assembled with bamboo nails, a hallmark of historic Japanese woodworking that reflects both sustainability and advanced craftsmanship of the period.
The cabinet is made from solid wood with a warm, naturally aged patina developed over decades of use. Each drawer is fitted with understated iron pull handles, showing gentle wear consistent with age and adding to its authentic appeal. The long, low profile makes it ideal as a console, sideboard, or statement storage piece.
Originally used for organizing documents, textiles, or merchant goods, this console embodies the functional elegance of late Edo to early Meiji era design.
