Korean Mother-of-Pearl Stool

Offered by: PAGODA RED

Description
Depth: 9.5" // This ornate Korean stool was crafted in the early 20th century of lacquered papier-mâché with beautiful mother-of-pearl inlay, a decorative technique known as "najeonchilgi." During the Joseon era (1392-1910), the symmetrical, arabesque designs of najeonchilgi were replaced with more diverse patterns and figurative motifs such as fruits, plants, and the ten symbols of longevity.
