Tansu Chrysanthemum Decorative Plate

Tansu (the Japanese word for “trunk”) refers to a variety of trunks, chests, boxes and storage cabinetry popular in Japan from about 1650 to 1920. Combining the skills of the cabinetmaker, blacksmith and lacquer artist, Tansu can run the gamut from simple unadorned cabinetry to ornate chests using 100 or more pieces of hardware.

This die-cast black decorative plate features a chrysanthemum motif. It measures 75mm in diameter and mounts with brads (sold separately).
