Antique Korean Tansu Chest

This is an antique Korean tansu chest, a traditional piece of Korean furniture known for its intricate craftsmanship and decorative metal hardware. The chest is constructed from rich, warm-toned wood with a distinctive grain, giving it an organic and elegant appeal.

The structure consists of multiple compartments, including small drawers along the top, a central cabinet with hinged doors, and lower drawers for additional storage. The cabinet doors are reinforced with decorative brass hardware, including circular hinges and a central locking mechanism, which are hallmarks of traditional Korean design.

The bottom section features iron appliqués with floral or symbolic motifs, likely representing protection and prosperity, elements commonly found in Korean antique chests. The scalloped apron and corner metal fittings add to its authentic historical character.
