Black Pine Wood Stationery Box with Automatic Lid is a traditional Korean decorative technique with a thousand-year history, passed down through generations of master artisans. It involves inlaying thin, iridescent pieces of abalone or conch shell onto an object. The base is first coated in many layers of natural lacquer (Ottchil). Then, shimmering shell fragments are carefully placed, piece by piece, like engraving with light. More lacquer is applied and polished to a brilliant shine. The result is a luminous, enduring beauty that does not fade over time.
This piece, lavishly decorated with brilliant mother-of-pearl, is both a practical item and a work of art. It brings a touch of classic Korean elegance to any desk or living room, making it a valuable and timeless gift.
