About the Item
A stunning late 19th century Campaign Korean tansu cabinet or chest. The Korean chest features 4 small drawers on top of a two door cabinet offering plenty of space for storage.

The two cabinet doors have Korean manuscripts on each side adding authenticity and historical touch to this unique piece. The Korean Tansu butterfly chest is a great collectible piece to not be dismissed by Asian art and specialties collectors.
