These Pair of low cabinets / sideboards are heavily decorated with multiple color varieties of mother of pearl inlay featuring scenes of fawn, flora, and exotic phoenix birds that cover almost every surface of the front. The colors of the Mother-of-Pearl change throughout the day depending on how the light falls on them. When the sunlight hits them, they reflect a beautiful array of colors.

INFO : The process to create these beautiful works of art is intricate and time consuming.

Its starts by drawing the scene on paper. Then thin layers of the inside of mother of pearl are peeled from the inside of shells and placed over a sheet of wax paper then glued together at the edges making a thin sheet of mother of pearl. Wax paper goes over that and then another layer of mother of pearl. They may make as many as 10 layers stacked on top of each other to form a block. The original drawing is then glued over the top piece of wax paper. Then the incredibly intricate work starts by cutting each line of the drawing with a very fine tooth saw until each individual piece is cut away from the main block of shells. Once they have been cut into individual pieces they are placed onto the black lacquer surface and then a clear coat is applied on top of them.

A single door may take one man as long as a week to complete. Please message us for more details. INCLUDED : The actual Pair (Set of 2) Antique Korean Low Cabinets / Sideboards pictured. NOT-INCLUDED : No original box, packaging, or paperwork.
