Product Description
This exquisite wooden lock jewelry box is lavishly ornamented with mother of pearl peony flower painting. The elaborate adornment of the entire body (except for the back) makes it a breathtaking piece for storing personal fashion items. It is quite remarkable that the artist could depict the scene in such detail without brush nor pen, but only with mother of pearl strips. The fully open peony blossom is a symbol of wealth and nobility. The elegantly designed embroidery laid upon the inner bottom and traditional Korean fish lock give the beautiful panache to this jewelry box. The fish whose eyes remain open even while sleeping was a popular guard to keep vigil over personal treasure. The houseware coated with natural lacquer has long been used in East Asia for its glossy beauty as well as its practicality for being strong, watertight and antibacterial.

 Book Description

Publication Date: April 27, 2000 | ISBN-10: 0750644125 | ISBN-13: 978-0750644129 | Edition: 1

For the conservator this book is an invaluable tool when examining the options available for treatment of lacquer. Not only does it cover the technology and methods of treatment for both types of lacquer, but it assesses current practices enabling the conservator to make more informed decisions.

Controversial issues are also debated, such as whether Asian lacquer should be restored in the Asian manner, using non-reversible materials, or using western methods that are theoretically reversible. As the book describes production technology and decorative techniques it will also be a useful aid for both art historians and collectors alike in identifying and dating lacquerware.
