This is a piece that is thought to be an old wooden low table made on the Korean Peninsula. Although its exact date cannot be stated with certainty, judging from its overall construction, the design of the legs, and the character of the wood, it can be understood as an old piece of common people’s furniture from the Joseon period. The tabletop appears to be made of a hardwood similar to oak or elm, while the legs appear to be made of a softwood such as pine or cedar. What makes this table especially interesting is the way it carries something of the atmosphere of Korean antique furniture...

The tone shelf is inspired by the traditional colors of Korea, especially "Hanbok," which is a traditional Korean dress for formal occasions. Here, those traditional colors are made into art furniture with a modern sensibility, in Korean jade and sky blue. The tone of the blue gives an elegant and dreamy vibe. As artisans dye each piece of acrylic by hand, the tone in this piece is completely different from that of a mass-produced product, and as such, has its own value as a limited artwork. Wide spaces between the shelves can fit large...

This is an excavated earthenware vessel that is thought to have been made in Korea during the Silla period, around the 9th century. It is a very beautiful jar of the form called a "footed jar," and it comes with a dedicated wooden storage box and a paper recording its prewar provenance. Silla was an ancient kingdom that arose in the southeastern part of the Korean Peninsula around the 1st century BC and lasted until the early 10th century. From around the middle of the 4th century, the firing temperature of Silla kilns rose above 1,000 degrees Celsius, which made the pottery harder and less prone to cracking than before. It ranges from light gray to dark gray, is unglazed, and rings with a metallic sound when tapped. It was used as everyday tools and as vessels for rituals, and was also placed in the tombs of powerful people as burial goods. It is very close to Japanese Sue ware, and the technique is said to have been transmitted from the Korean Peninsula to Japan. Large vessels were made by coiling clay, while finely made small vessels were made on the potter's wheel, and their outsides were decorated with incised patterns and, on the foot, with cut-out openings. This jar, too, was placed in an ancient tomb as such a burial good. For that reason it was made with great care. The smooth curves made on the potter's wheel are beautiful, and the lines of the raised bands that run around the body are also graceful. On the foot, you can see the wavy pattern and the cut-out openings that are characteristic of Silla pottery...

A fine antique Korean medicine or apothecary chest from late Joseon Dynasty (circa 19th century). Known as Yakchang in Korean, this type of chest was used to sort and store herb medicines in its many small drawers. The prototype was originated in China, but this piece is distinctively Korean. The fine piece was made from Paulownia wood, which has an insect-repelling quality. Relatively tall, the Yakchang features a slightly overhanging and upturning pagoda plank top. The upper part has ten rows of smaller drawers, eight per row and eighty total. The lower part is centered with double doors with brass hinges and pull that open to a small storage space, which is surrounded by twelve larger drawers. Each drawer is fitted with yellow brass pulls and with two names of the herbs in gilt Hanja writings. Examination of the construction and patina shows that this is an authentic antique piece that has seen extensive historical use. Provenance: Purchase from Lucky-Chosun Furniture, Seoul, Korea in 1986 and remains in an American collection until now. With an original invoice and also a freight invoice from Korea to Hongkong. There is also an insurance appraised by Sotheby's from 1997. A tall medicine chest with similar configuration from a doctor's home in Yongin Folk Village is illustrated on plate 75 page 61 in the book "Korean Furniture and Culture" by Bokcha, Soon and Youngsoon. To compare with another Medicine Chest, see illustration on page 47 in "Korean Antique Furniture...
