This exquisite antique Bandaji chest is a fine example of traditional Korean craftsmanship, dating from the 1910–1920 era. It was acquired from a Korean family during an estate sale as they prepared to return to South Korea. The chest had traveled with them to the United States 25 years ago and had been lovingly passed down through their family.
Bandaji chests were essential in Korean households for centuries, used to store clothing and household items. This piece reflects that heritage with its solid construction, beautifully aged wood, and elaborate brass hardware featuring intricate Korean cultural motifs.
Crafted from a combination of traditional woods—likely including pine, zelkova, and persimmon—it showcases a warm, dark finish that brings out the natural grain and character of the wood. The chest’s distinctive fold-down front panel opens to reveal ample interior space, blending functionality with striking design.
Whether used for storage or as a statement piece, this Bandaji is more than just furniture—it's a preserved piece of Korean history, ready to be cherished in a new home.
