Unknown
19th century · Lacquer inlaid with mother-of-pearl and metal wire · Asian Art
The decoration on this table is inspired by Goryeo-dynasty design. The wire-inlay scroll pattern, delicate three-pointed leaves, and circular geometric pattern are common Goryeo-lacquer motifs that were carried through in this Joseon lacquer. The scalloped framing of the tabletop’s floral motif evokes the shape of the ogival trays.
