Description
We are delighted to offer for sale this Late 19th Century Korean Chest.
The late 19th-century Korean Ich'ung butterfly wedding cabinet chest with brass fittings is a truly exquisite piece that captures the essence of Korean craftsmanship and culture. This cabinet chest, also known as a "pyung Sang," was traditionally used during weddings to store and display the bride's dowry items.
The cabinet chest is constructed from high-quality wood, which is known for its strength and durability. The wood is carefully chosen to showcase its natural grain patterns and to create a harmonious composition.
One of the most striking features of this wedding cabinet chest is its intricate brass fittings. These fittings are meticulously crafted and delicately engraved with traditional motifs such as butterflies, flowers, or other auspicious symbols that hold significant meaning in Korean culture. The brass fittings not only enhance the visual appeal of the piece but also serve as functional elements to secure the doors or drawers.
In terms of design, this wedding cabinet chest typically features multiple drawers and compartments for organizing and storing various bridal items such as bedding, clothing, or jewelry. The various storage spaces are thoughtfully arranged to ensure ease of access and efficient use of space.
The overall aesthetic of this late 19th-century Ich'ung butterfly wedding cabinet chest reflects a blend of elegance and functionality. It showcases traditional Korean design elements while exemplifying meticulous attention to detail. This stunning piece serves not only as a functional storage solution but also as a work of art that celebrates Korea's rich cultural heritage.
Owning a late 19th-century Korean Ich'ung butterfly wedding cabinet chest with brass fittings not only adds a touch of history and culture to any space but also offers a perfect conversation starter and a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of Korean artisans.

To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.
If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.
Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.

Types of returns and responsibilities
Change of mind return
Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.
Item not fit for purpose
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
Damage in transit
Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
How to request a return
To initiate a return the customer needs to log in to their Vinterior account and click Create a return on the order page. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.
How you will be refunded?
Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt of the item, and Vinterior will refund the original payment method.
If an item is returned to the seller damaged or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund, and the seller may have to send it back (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.
What can't be returned?
As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer's specific requirements.
Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.
Vendors may refuse a return of an item if the Customer has altered it in any way.
Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
