A vintage set of two 'stackable' Korean Joeson / Asian style dark brown Kayaki wood & brass nightstands. Lots of storage space inside with two front doors that have 'copper and brass' butterfly' detailing on the front of the cabinet with further corner & side embellishment throughout the cabinets. It is quite unusual to have copper and brass hardware (Changsok), most cabinets have just brass. Interiors are lined with tan coloured old style paper with black calligraphy.
Kayaki wood is distinctively grained, a rich warm colour and used to make higher quality items such as these.
Both rest on wood stretchers for stacking, strength and stability.
Can be used as either:
Nightstands
Side tables
End tables
Chests
Placed on top of one another as it traditional.
**Apologies for the hazy main photo - the camera lens for some reason reacts with the light/varnish on the pieces. The wood is a rich brown, with very interesting grain patterns. Both cabinets are the same colour.
