🟡 Rare MID CENTURY small birchwood cabinet by Pastoe, 1960s

Unique wall cabinet produced by UMS Pastoe in the 1960s. This birchwood cabinet with compass legs has three dust-resistant drawers and a door. The designer may have been Cees Braakman, but we haven’t seen a cabinet like this before. It was either in production for a short time or perhaps a prototype. The cabinet is marked.

TANSU / 箪笥

🟡 Traditional JAPANESE wooden Tansu storage cabinet (trunk), ca. 1900

AVAILABLE / De Gele Etalage

A beautiful Japanese wooden mobile Tansu (箪笥) cabinet from the Meiji period, circa 1900, with a beautiful patina. The cabinet was primarily used for storing clothing, especially kimonos. This functional approach is clearly reflected in the metal corner protectors and the lockable drawers and sliding doors. This cabinet has several wide drawers, two sliding doors, and two “hidden” drawers behind a door. A nice detail is the cast iron supports on the sides of the cabinet. Beautiful cabinet in a modern interior or brutalist architecture.

Tansu (箪笥) are traditional Japanese mobile storage cabinets. Tansu are commonly used for the storage of clothing, particularly kimono.

Tansu were rarely used as stationary furniture. Consistent with traditional Japanese interior design, which featured a number of movable partitions, allowing for the creation of larger and smaller rooms within the home, tansu would need to be easily portable, and were not visible in the home except at certain times[which?] for specific situations.[which?]

Tansu were typically kept in kura (storehouses) adjacent to homes or businesses, in nando (storage rooms), in oshiire (house closet alcoves), and on choba (a raised platform area of a shop). Tansu would also be kept on some sengokubune (coastal ships). Mobility was obtained through the use of attached wheels, iron carry handles or protruding structural upper rails for lifting.
