Early 20th Century Korean Persimmon Wood Cabinet

A masterpiece of natural artistry, this antique Korean chest (Ichung-Jang) celebrates the wood itself rather than ornate carving. The front panels are crafted from rare Persimmon wood, selected for its dramatic, dark-grained swirls that mimic mountains and flowing water. Framed in a darker, solid hardwood, the chest is accented with traditional brass hardware, including butterfly or round hinges and fish-shaped locks. Structurally, it features a row of four small drawers at the top for accessories, a central cabinet with double doors, and a large lower storage compartment originally used for storing bedding.
With its shallow 16-inch depth and striking wood grain, this chest is a functional showpiece for narrow spaces. It is destined to be a sophisticated bar cabinet or In a bedroom, it serves as a high-style dresser.
