About the Item

Korean Black Lacquered Miniature Chest of Drawers, with two short drawers above three graduated frieze drawers and mother-of-pearl landscape inlay. 10.75" H x 8.25" W x 9.25" D. The style of the chest of drawers depicted is Korean, specifically showcasing the "Najeonchilgi" technique. This traditional Korean art form involves decorating wooden objects with intricate designs made from pieces of mother-of-pearl. The chest features multiple drawers, each with unique landscape scenes, flora, fauna, and traditional motifs, all rendered in shimmering mother-of-pearl against a black lacquer background. The style is characterized by fine craftsmanship, detailed ornamentation, and the use of natural materials to create visually striking and functional pieces. Provenance: From an East 81st Street Estate.
