Description

This antique Korean Bandaji chest, crafted in the late 19th century, exemplifies traditional Korean joinery and artistic ironwork. Made from richly grained elm wood, the chest features a bold front panel decorated with intricate black iron fittings, including diamond-shaped and floral motifs. Originally used for storing valuables, documents, and bedding, Bandaji chests were an essential fixture in Korean homes and often given as part of a bride’s dowry. The chest opens from the front, with a hinged panel that folds down, revealing a spacious interior. It stands on low bracket feet and includes side handles for portability, blending both function and ornamental design. This timeless piece showcases Korea’s cultural heritage and would make a striking statement in any interior, whether used as a storage chest or decorative accent.
