I didn't know which forum to post this in, so administrators, please move to a more appropriate forum as you see fit.
They are both missing nails. The Japanese one, which is about 100 years old, a LOT of nails: which has caused decorative trim to come loose and become bent. (Or lost altogether. In my “spare time” I hope to cut out some new brass trim and replace it. It will never look like the original, but at least it will cover the glaring areas of absence).
I’ve found short ones, but they need some length to get a grip on the wood. Ideally, I’d like them about an inch long. Heads about 3 mm.
Photo is of the Korean chest. The Japanese chest has slightly smaller nail heads.
If someone can tell me where to look, I’d appreciate it. Thanks.
