Rare Jin-Ju Bandaji Chest from Jin-Ju in Kyongsang
A very rare bandaji (front opening chest) from Jin-Ju in the Kyongsang Province. Jin-Ju Bandaji are among the most desirable items for Korean Antique collectors, for the quality of the workmanship and the artistry of the design. It is unlikely that you will see another offered for sale. This one was purchased from Christie's in the 1990's. The description from the Christie's catalog may be seen in the second photo here. This magnificent and very rare chest is in the same good condition that it was in when it was purchased from Christie's. The iron bosses are inlaid in silver with stylized insects. 39.5w x 29.5h x 19.75d inches, 100 x 75 x 50 cm.
