This handsome all original and unrestored 19th Century Som Bandaji (Korean Island Front Opening Chest) is made entirely of a very fine Korean pine that would have to have grown for hundreds of years in a hilly, rocky area in order to produce the richly detailed grain that you see on this fine chest. This type of chest could be found in the humble households of fishermen and sailors of the south coastal areas. The iron hinges represent fish tails. The subdued rich, golden grain and fine design of this beautiful Bandaji most certainly would have guaranteed it a place of pride and prominence in a humble Korean seafarer's home. 20 x 30 x 13 inches, 51 x 76 x 33 cm. Excellent Condition.
