    Description

    Stunning hand made traditional Korean Storage chest in South Korea.  This is a large piece - 35.5" tall x 42.5" wide x 16.5" deep.  Very good condition.  The chest has a main storage area (traditionally for blankets/bedding) that is lined with calligraphy covered rice paper.  There are also 3 drawers on the top.  The front is adorned with wrought iron hardware with incised decorations.
    I purchased this chest in Korea in the 1970's, so it is at least 50 years old.  The dealer told me it was an antique, but I cannot verify and reproductions were common.  Too large and heavy to ship, local pickup only.  We are located in the Sugar Hill/Suwanee/Buford, Georgia area.
