Hello everyone, I have the following chest. It was acquired by my family in Japan circa 1890, but I believe it is actually Korean style.
It is 16" by 13" and my grandparents referred to it as a "music cabinet" (they kept music scores inside).
It has a lock in the shape of a turtle. When you unlock it, it opens a lid on the top with storage space. Also, when you open the front doors it has two drawers inside. The sides have handles in the shape of a butterfly or some winged creature.
The metal parts are bronze, and my grandmother tells me they used to shine when this piece was cleaned regularly (it hasn't been touched in decades).
Can anyone tell me anything about this type of piece and any potential value it may have?
Thank you very much,
Tom
