Handsome brass-bound Campaign style traditional Korean wedding chest. Late 19th c. /Early 20th c. toward the end of Joseon Dynasty from Gyeonggi Do.
A very nice antique Korean Bandaji Chest Bandaji is known as drop front half opening chest and was traditionally used to store household valuables and beddings. On special occasion such as wedding ceremony, more luxurious and elaborate Bandaji with auspicious symbols would be presented as part of the gift on display. This chest displays a harmonious proportion with a squared dimension of width and height. It was constructed primarily in solid Zelkova (neutinamu in Korean), a hardwood priced for its expressive dark grains. The use of symbolism via the brass hardware is wonderful celebratory display of joy and prosperity.
The majority hinges were cast in the shape of butterfly, which symbolizes *prosperity and *contentment.
