時代箪笥／米沢桜紋衣裳箪笥【YONEZAWA clothing chest】 [j1073]　Japanese Antique Furniture

赤みを帯びた漆越しに見える流れるような欅の杢目が印象的な米沢地方の衣裳箪笥です。

一見シンプルな丸い錠前金具にはこの地方特有の唐草に囲まれた桜の紋様が彫り込まれ、
木瓜型と呼ばれる把手金具は面取りがされています。技術の高さと手をかけて作られたことが見て取れます。

他の米沢箪笥に比べ、やや大きめの錠前やその他の金具も重々しく見えず、バランスの良いデザインに納まっています。

艶もあり、大きな傷も少ないお勧めの一棹です。

This elegant YONEZAWA clothing chest, part of the traditional Japanese furniture collection [J1073], is characterized by the impressive flowing keyaki wood grain visible through its reddish lacquer finish. The simple round lock features a unique cherry blossom pattern, surrounded by the signature arabesques of this region. The handle, known as a mokko-shaped fitting, is skillfully chamfered, showcasing the masterful workmanship and effort put into its creation. Unlike other YONEZAWA chests, the larger lock and other fittings do not appear heavy, but instead contribute to the overall balanced and exquisite design. Its glossy finish and minimal signs of wear make this a highly recommended piece.
