Over 20 years ago my brother did some renovations for some people he knew and instead of paying him in cash, they gave him this dresser. He brought it up here to Alaska to give it to my Mother for her birthday and she absolutly loved it and took good care of it. Well my Mother has since passed several years ago and the dresser was willed to me. Now I do have many of my Mothers personal items to remember her by so I would really like to see this dresser go to someone who would get the enjoyment out of it that she did. Unfortunately I don't know alot about this piece except that it is a Korean dresser and all the mother of pearl shells were shaped by hand and the pictures designed using them were also done by hand. Then the whole outer part of it has a black laquer finish. Any other information including what this might be worth would be greatly appreciated.
