3 Tiered Korean Black Lacquered-Mother of Pearl Inlay Chest

This three tiered chest can come apart into three separate chests. Stacked on top of each other, it forms one large armoire.

The entire piece is painted in black shiny lacquer and the faces of each chest is inlayed with mother of pearl detail designs of flowers, birds, various animals etc. Each chest has two doors that open towards you with sliding doors within. Each chest is unique. The top chest is crowned with moulding. The middle chest has four uniform drawers. The lower chest has simple legs.

Although the piece looks heavy, each chest is incredibly light (may be made of traditional palownia wood that Korean furniture is historically made of.

The chest looks almost exactly like the one in the attached picture--with the exception of differences in age and mother of pearl design subjects (i.e. frog instead of a bird)
