This is a stunning complete set of four vintage Korean black lacquer wall panels. Each panel features a different mythical creature from East Asian mythology, meticulously inlaid with vibrant, colorful abalone shell. The iridescent inlay contrasts beautifully with the deep black lacquer background.
This "Four Auspicious Creatures" set is a powerful and complete collection of traditional symbols. The set includes:
The Dragon Turtle: A symbol of longevity, stability, and success.
The Phoenix (Bonghwang): A symbol of good fortune, nobility, and happiness.
The Qilin: A symbol of prosperity, protection, and good luck.
The Dragon (Yong): A symbol of power, wisdom, and good fortune.
This large set would create a dramatic focal point in any room. They can be hung together as a quad, in a pair, or as individual accents. This would be an incredible housewarming or wedding gift, wishing the recipients a complete range of good fortune, longevity, and success. It's also a perfect find for any collector of Asian art or Chinoisiere decor.
The panels are in good vintage condition. The abalone inlay is intact on all pieces, but the black lacquer shows some age-related crackling and minor scrapes, adding to their authentic character. Each measures about 23" in height by 11.25".
This item is vintage, over 20 years old. While it appears to be in good condition, there may be minor imperfections that I missed.
