A curated collection of chests of drawers that blend Asian heritage craftsmanship with modern rustic design — from Japanese tansu and Chinese apothecary chests to reclaimed teak and pine tallboys.
Antique Chests – Japan, China & India
The collection includes rare Japanese tansu from Sendai, Yonezawa and Nihonmatsu, Chinese apothecary cabinets from Shanxi Province, and Anglo-Indian campaign chests from Gujarat. Each antique piece embodies fine joinery, hand-forged ironwork and lacquered or waxed finishes developed for durability and elegance. Their balanced proportions and natural patina reflect centuries of craft refinement, bringing quiet presence and authenticity to modern interiors.
Modern Rustic & Reclaimed Wood Designs
Complementing the antiques, our modern rustic tallboys and reclaimed teak chests draw inspiration from traditional workshop cabinetry. Made from salvaged teak and pine, they capture a wabi-sabi simplicity — the beauty of imperfection, texture and honesty in materials. Subtle variations in grain and tone ensure every chest is unique, offering timeless practicality with a sense of calm restraint.
Craftsmanship & Function
Each piece is defined by hand-cut dovetail drawers, solid wood construction and balanced, enduring form. Whether antique or contemporary, these chests provide versatile storage — perfect for bedrooms, hallways or living spaces where natural materials and quiet design speak louder than ornament.
Styling & Atmosphere
Pair lacquered tansu with linen and stone for contrast, or reclaimed teak drawers with neutral plaster for a grounded, organic aesthetic. These chests combine sculptural presence with daily function, uniting Asian artistry and modern rustic living.
