{"product_id":"antique-korean-furniture-35","title":"BANDAJI CHEST, Joseon Dynasty（1392–1897CE）","description":"\u003cp\u003eA Joseon-period bandaji (half-closed chest) with a pleasing wood grain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA storage chest from the Joseon Dynasty whose upper front half opens forward. Used to hold clothing, textiles, and everyday utensils, it assumes a horizontally elongated, box-like form in which iron fittings and the wood grain are revealed with quiet elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece measures approximately 70 cm in width and is a convenient size for handling. The front is fitted with a lock plate, hinges, pulls, and ornamental corner fittings. Its construction is plain and free of excessive ornamentation, yet the central lock plate and the side hinge fittings display the solid, unadorned beauty characteristic of Joseon furniture. The darkened iron and the deep-brown wood grain harmonize well, and rather than showiness, the chest conveys a calm strength born of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wooden elements display abrasion, scratches, and changes in sheen from prolonged use. The top and corners bear marks from contact, and the edges are rounded in places. The iron fittings likewise show rust and wear, but overall the piece presents a solid impression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe back is an undecorated plank surface, preserving the simple profile of an old wooden chest. In contrast to the expressive iron fittings on the front, the back displays a quiet, understated wood grain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile of course suitable as a floor-standing storage chest, it also serves as a low display stand for white porcelain, buncheong ware, antique ceramics, stone objects, or flower vessels. The well-developed wood grain cradles the objects and invites appreciation of pairings distinctive to Joseon furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to its age, the wooden surfaces bear scuffs and scratches. Please consider it an aged piece of furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ROCANIIRU COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52519210844441,"sku":null,"price":260000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/9911\/1193\/files\/2026061315067_5cd05ed3-2c56-407f-9ebc-b9aa56730ad0.jpg?v=1781335867","url":"https:\/\/rcnir.com\/en\/products\/antique-korean-furniture-35","provider":"入蘆花（ロカニイル）","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
