Extremely Rare 18th Century Korean Chest from Taegu
18th Century Korean Furniture is so rare that we have only had one other example for sale. This 18th Century Bandaji from Taegu is truly a museum piece, as the few extant 18th Century pieces of Korean furniture are almost all in museums or private collections, and more specifically, we know of only one other 18th Century Taegu Bandaji that exists anywhere (The Weisman Art Museum's Edward R. Wright Collection; the late Edward R. Wright was the co-author, along with my old friend Pai Man Sill, of the book considered to be the bible on Korean antique furniture, Traditional Korean Furniture). This bandaji is an important piece of history and a fine example of the early and simple style. With its understated ironwork and slender door, the proportions are rare and elegant. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime offer. 36.75w x 20.75h x 15.75d inches, 93.5w x 53h x 40d cm.
