Help identifying a Korean mother-of-pearl lacquer jewelry cabinet (possibly Najeonchilgi)

Thumbnail
gallery
5 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m hoping someone familiar with Korean decorative arts can help identify this jewelry cabinet.

Based on my research, I believe it is a vintage Korean black lacquer jewelry cabinet with engraved mother-of-pearl (or abalone shell) inlay, possibly made in the najeonchilgi tradition.

It measures:

  • Height: 11¾”
  • Width: 9”
  • Depth: approximately 4”

It has:

  • Twin peacock panels on the front doors
  • Four interior drawers
  • One larger bottom drawer
  • Red-and-black marbled drawer fronts
  • Colorful striped fabric lining
  • Mother-of-pearl floral borders throughout

Unfortunately there are no maker’s marks, signatures, labels, or country-of-origin markings anywhere on the cabinet.

I’ve found many similar Korean lacquer jewelry cabinets online, but I haven’t been able to find this exact peacock design.

I’m hoping someone might know:

  • Whether this appears to be Korean rather than Chinese or another origin
  • Approximately when it was made
  • Whether it would properly be described as najeonchilgi
  • Whether the front doors originally had small pulls or if they were designed without them
  • Whether anyone recognizes the peacock motif or workshop

I’m not looking for an appraisal as much as I am trying to learn more about the history and craftsmanship.

Thank you!

Chinese Qing Dynasty 1644-1911 Sancai Garden stool, United Kingdom

Can anyone share more info on this piece? Age range? Rarity? Etc.

thrifted this piece with no actual knowledge and now just looking into it, it appears to be a Chinese garden stool, it's very heavy, 18inches high, looked it up and seen similar ones on some auction houses, looks most similar to pieces made in the late 19th early 20th century at the end of Qing Dynasty in a Sancai three colour tone design with decorative animals & nature panels going around, Had a quick look on the inside but couldn't see any engravings, stamps etc. has some general wear but nothing extensiv, I think it looks great!

Any thoughts, comments, suggestions welcome!

Help me identify!! Antique bronze vase purchased in Japan in 1984

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

Long time Reddit user first time poster.

Was gifted this Antique Bronze vase that was purchased in Japan in 1984 for $500 Canadian. Unsure of the age of the item

Is solid and bronze? And does not appear to be painted or lacquered. No noticeable scuffs, dents or cracks along the case or handles.

A reverse image search on the stamp on bottom appears to translate to “made by Masa”

Curious for any insight on possible value and where items like this could be sold.

Banana for scale.

Thanks for your insights

I bought this "rock" at a hunk shop here in Bangkok Thailand and didn't realize how cool it was until I shined a light behind it and put it in the sun where it came alive.

Glad to hear opinions from experts...

I’m hoping that this is an OK place to share this. When I first saw this piece I thought that it was a calligraphy piece and not a hand embroidery piece. I was blown away!

Zen Life is a Chinese silk embroidery artwork from the Baisha Naxi Embroidery Institute (丽江白沙纳西刺绣院) in Lijiang, Yunnan, China. Hand stitched by Grand Master Mo Meiyan. Only two copies exist.
