About the Item

An antique Korean wood Bandaji cabinet from Yecheon area in Gyeongsang Do (southern part of Korean Peninsular) circa late 19th century Joseon Dynasty. This particular Bandaji features a partial drop-down front door and extended top plank with upturned end. The relatively plain hardware indicates that its origin was likely from the Northern part of the Gyeongsang Do. The construction suggests that the use of the piece might be to store books or manuscript, known as Ch'aek Bandaji. The cabinet was made from stained pine wood and fitted with black iron hardware. It is supported on carved curvy legs with apron, a style called Madae in Korean. The interior is unlined as shown.
