#1a • Exceptional & Large Inlaid Lacquered Korean Wardrobe Cabinet

Part of October 2024 Fantastic Finds Auction (timed auction by Alaska Premier Auctions & Appraisals)

High bid $1,000.00

Status: Sold

A very fine oversized 1950's/1960's Korean lacquered wardrobe. The front of the cabinet is inlaid in exceptional detail with a plethora of mother-of-pearl and other semi-precious materials, with motifs of cranes, foliage, and mountain landscapes. The interior has three independent large storage areas and three smaller lower drawers. The unit, while very large at 104" long x 26.25" deep x 79.75" tall, breaks down into five pieces for relatively easy transport. While Korean lacquered items from this era appear on a somewhat regular basis in the market, an example with this level of craftsmanship is extremely hard to find, and would be the centerpiece of any room. No items in/ontop of the wardrobe are included.  ***Please note that this lot is off-site, on the first story of a building with easy and clear access. The winning bidder is required to break it down/transport it. We will coordinate with you directly after the auction is concluded.
