Rare Kaesong, North Korea Chest w/Spectacular Metalwork
This chest has the finest metalwork of any chest we have ever had. Kaesong, North Korea bandaji (front-opening chest) are rare and desirable for collectors, because they are not as common as Pyongyang, North Korea bandaji, and are renowned for their fine, detailed metalwork. This chest is a great example of Kaesong metalwork, spectacular and beautifully rendered with auspicious symbols of pine trees, roosters, bats, peonies, lotus flowers, bamboos, pullochos, sparrows, mountains, and the Chinese symbols for longevity, good fortune, good health, and home. A rare and beautiful find for the fan of Korean metalwork and antique Korean furniture. 40.25h x 35.25w x 18.25d.
