Mid 19th Century Korean Seven Butterfly Persimmon Chest
This gorgeous, all original and unrestored Korean Seven Butterfly Chest is an early piece (middle 19th Century) made from a luscious persimmon wood that has aged to a warm rich hue that is truly a delight to behold. It is a beautiful effect that could never be even closely duplicated with new wood. The lovely brass butterflies that adorn this beautiful piece are an ancient symbol of happiness in Korea. 23.5 x 33.5 x 15 inches, 60 x 85 x 38 cm. Excellent Condition.
