Chinese Picknick Plates

A striking Japanese bridal tansu chest from Nihonmatsu, crafted in solid keyaki (zelkova) wood with rich natural grain patterns. The chest features multiple stacked drawers with traditional iron and brass hardware, including decorative corner mounts, circular lock plates, and recessed handles. Designed for both security and ceremony, this type of tansu was historically used to store bridal trousseau items. The robust construction and elegant metalwork reflect the refined craftsmanship of traditional Japanese cabinetry.
