Item: Jwagyeong, Folding Mirror Box With Drawer.
Origin: Korea.
Period: Late 20th century.
Style: Chugcheong Do (Pattern and attributes characteristic of the province).
Materials: Pine wood, Zeldova wood veneers, brass hardware.
Description: Offered is a folding or collapsible mirror box with a single drawer, features lacquered Zeldova wood veneers over mahogany stained Pine wood, antique finish brass latch-hinges-corner plate hardware incised with a floral motif, rests on a sculpted apron base.
Measures: 10 L x 14 W x 9.5 H closed (18 H open) inches.
Approximate weight: 13 pounds, 1.1 ounce.
Provenance: Property from the Evelyn and John Lockton Collection, the Koshland Estate, 130 Reservoir Road, Hillsborough, CA. The home was designed and named after fashion titan, former Levi Strauss & Co. President, Daniel Koshland in 1961.
Note: The piece was crafted by a modern master craftsman or carpenter, as observed in the exquisite form and finish; e.g. book match veneers, finely incised hardware. Intently produced as an export for a connoisseur or collector, as the choice of zeldova wood indicate, a much prized material for its expressive and eye catching grains, and overall execution attest; primary indicators that suggest the piece was modeled in the traditional style of a jwagyeong crafted for a noble or royal owner.
