Vintage Lacquer & Mother of Pearl Inlay Plate
A finely detailed vintage trinket dish crafted from black lacquered wood and inlaid with luminous mother-of-pearl. The beautiful composition depicts two birds perched among flowering branches, each feather, petal and stem delicately engraved to bring definition to the iridescent shell. Against the deep black lacquer, the mother-of-pearl shifts through tones of silver, ivory, blush and soft green as it catches the light. Its modest scale makes it particularly suited to holding jewellery, keys or other small treasures on a dressing table, desk or bedside cabinet, though it is equally beautiful displayed simply as a decorative object.
