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).
