ANTIQUES KOREAN STYLE
In Seoul,
my Korean agent had taken me to what he thought was a source of antique
furniture. Instead, we found outside of a small factory eight identical chests
yet to be finished and without the necessary decorative hardware.
"These are handsome reproductions," I told the factory
manager.
He shook his head. "No," he said, "these are
antiques, and I'll give you papers to prove it."
