  • Sendai-style Isho-dansu (clothing chest)

    sendaitansu1 300x281 Sendai style Isho dansu (clothing chest)Up for auction is a beautiful Sendai-style clothing chest. This piece is unrestored, which in some ways is how I like them. A rich patina is aquired by use and age and I sometimes prefer this condition over a heavily sanded and restained piece. This could use some TLC but otherwise looks real good. All the ironwork is present, and it looks like it has the oblong wooden nails in the joinery, which is indicative of early Meiji Era tansu manufacture (but most likely this is mid to late Meiji due to style evolution). With the Mokko style handles, this piece is textbook Sendai-style. Estimated sale price between 500.00 and 700.00.
