Cultural Significance
Najeonchilgi is a traditional Korean decorative art dating back over 1,000 years. The technique involves embedding thin slices of abalone and other shells into lacquered surfaces, creating stunning iridescent designs that shift color as light plays across them. Peony flowers represent prosperity and honor in Korean culture, while butterflies symbolize happiness and longevity.
Made in Korea.

Got this peony-inlaid tea table recently, and it’s honestly a little gem! The craftsmanship blew me away—so much detail in the mother-of-pearl designs. It’s like having art right under your cuppa! 😍 I love how it has those traditional curved legs too; totally gives my place that chic yet homey vibe. Plus, just think about all the cozy chats over teas (or coffees) at gatherings around here… Who wouldn’t want to sip tea from something as stunning as this? Super worth every penny for adding such class!

美しい光沢を持つ母貝のテーブルに出会うまで、伝統的なスタイルには何も期待していませんでした。しかし、このペオニー柄ホジョクバンは想像以上です。その繊細さと立体感は空間全体に格別の温かみを与えました。多層ラッカー仕上げのお陰で質感が違いますね！決して色褪せない。この家具はただ目映りするだけでなく、その存在そのものが家庭への喜びや繁栄を感じます。本物の日本らしさ。”

Na atmosfera aconchegante do meu lar em Lisboa, encontrei um item que redefine a beleza e tradição dos móveis de casa. A mesa Najeonchilgi Hojokban captura com maestria uma essência vibrante através de seus designs intrincados e resplandecentes encrustações de madrepérola. Diferente das mesas contemporâneas meramente funcionais, este exemplar celebra história por meio da elegância crua manifestada no formato levemente curvo — aquele toque delicado adequado para servir chá enquanto convido amigos ao redor dele para dias frios ou ensolarados… Sem dúvida é mais um pedacinho rico do património cultural redescoberto entre nossas modernas distrações.
