Antique Korean Bandaji Chest
SOLD!
Design Plus Gallery presents a Bandaji Chest of Korean Descent. The Korean chest is from the late 19th century (toward the end of Joseon Dynasty). Bandaji is known as drop-front half opening chest and was traditionally used to store household valuables and beddings. This well-proportioned Bandaji on offer was a classic example from Gyeonggi Do. Made from Zelkova wood veneered front panels (neutinamu in Korean) and pine on top, sides and back, the Bandaji is relatively small, but with a large drop front door opens nearly in the middle of the body. The chest rests on two block feet and retains the fish-shape lock with a tasseled key that may be original. The interior of the chest is unlined, rather clean and exposes the natural pine wood grains. Is in good condition for its antique age + use.
