Korean Furniture

A beautifully preserved Korean Bandaji (반닫이), or blanket chest, dating from the late 19th century. This traditional piece of Joseon Dynasty furniture was originally used to store tex...

16th/17th Century (or earlier) Korean Baby Buddha. The figure itself stands 10 inches tall, rising to 12 inches on its base. Closely related to item #5663 on my website—an all-bronze example—this piece is particularly unusual in its construction. It features a beautifully rendered bronze face intentionally embedded into a more roughly cast iron body. This appears to be original to its creation, and I have never encountered another Korean sculpture made in this manner. The piece has tremendous presence, with a serene and expressive face that contrasts beautifully with the more primitive iron casting of the body. Old tags attached when I acquired the piece are still present and date it to the 16th/17th century. A smaller, lesser-quality version—also attributed to this period—was offered on eBay for $2,500, supporting the date range. An exceptionally rare and distinctive Korean Buddha...

A square-form chest from Korea circa end of 19th to early 20th century (End of Joseon to Korean Empire period). The sturdy bin-like piece supported by unadorned block feet was made from solid elm (Zelkova) and pine wood. Traditionally, it was used in the kitchen to store rice or other grains (known as Dwiju in Korean). The simple minimalistic design was to meet its practical vernacular functionality. With time the piece has incurred tremendous characters and patina yet still retains a strong presence with an attractive aesthetic that is full of folky charm. This seemingly humble piece will make a great statement piece that shows off a wabi-sabi and earthy beauty in any modern interior. The prototype of the rice chest...

Anonymous. Korean, 17th century. Joseon period. Hanging scroll. Ink on paper. Seal: Shinso Dimensions: Scroll: H. 200 cm x W. 31 cm (79” x 12”) Image: H. 122 cm x W. 29.5 cm (48” x 11.5”) The grapevine came to China and then Korea from western Asia via the silk road trade routes. By the mid-Joseon period, it was one of the most popular subjects for Korean literati painters. Grapevines were painted as a singular subject or, less commonly, in combination with squirrels, which are associated with children due to their playful nature. Together, grapevines and squirrels embody wishes for abundant offspring and wealth. For the Korean literati artist the twisting vines, curling tendrils and round, plump grapes provided ample opportunity for expressive "brush play”. In this painting the artist has abstracted the scene and is seemingly unconcerned with discontinuities and proportion. Vines spring up from nowhere, grapes hang in random clusters and the squirrel’s head appears as if twisted backwards. For the vines and leaves we can feel a sense of speed in the brushstrokes, imparting a dynamic feel which is at once intense and animated. This contrasts dramatically with the countless tiny strokes of ink which realistically capture the texture of the squirrel’s fur...
