Meiji Period Japanese Ironbound Ship Chest
Meiji Period Japanese ship chest/safe box (funa tansu), crafted from darkened wood and wrapped in hand-forged iron hardware. Once used to store valuables, its compact, architectural form is as sculptural as it is functional. The intricate ironwork reveals exquisite craftsmanship, with a single handle at the top and an ornate lock plate at front.
Measures 16" H x 14.5" W x 17.75" D.
In beautiful antique condition. Every surface bears the marks of time—softened corners, textured metal, and subtle traces of red pigment visible beneath the blackened finish. Please note, this piece does not include the original key; a replacement is being sourced.
All vintage sales final.
