| Rare and Stunning Antique Mother of Pearl and Black Lacquer Two-Piece Chest. These don't come up often. In fact, it is the first one we have ever had. The factory-made reproductions that you often see cannot come anywhere near the beauty of the artistry and design of an original hand-inlaid piece like this. Take a look at the unique and lovely scenes that adorn six sides. Even the top of the bottom piece has its own unique scene. The beautiful pattern on the front is a turtle shell motif, a symbol of a long and blessed life. The crazy thing is that it would cost much more than our asking price to have a hand-inlaid mother of pearl and black lacquer two-piece chest made by an artisan today. So this price is quite a steal for such a rare and wonderful piece. As you can see in the third photo here, the two pieces separate and may be displayed separately or stacked. 44.5h x 32.75w x 15.5d inches, 113h x 83w x 39.5d cm. | ||
