Tansu Hardware: Wabi Plate

Reviewed by:

It would be touch to find authentic hardware than predates these reproduction Tansu pieces. Popular during the 8th century, pulls similar to this would have been found on traditional Japanese chests.

Fashioned at a small shop in Northern Israel, these solid copper pulls are handmade and no two pieces are exactly alike.

Wabi Plate comes in 4-3/4" and 6" diameter sizes.

Prices are $190 and $240 (August 2006).
