Two-tiered Clothing Chest
Two-tiered cabinets like this were generally used to store clothing, fabric, or raw cotton, in the anbang, the room used by the female head of a family. There are two main types of Joseon cabinets. The first type has full-length vertical side panels, so that the tiers are inseparable. This cabinet is the second type, having separable tiers that are stacked atop one another, with handles on the side of each tier, allowing them to be easily detached and moved.
