A Masterpiece of Korean Craftsmanship and Elegance

This luxurious handmade mother-of-pearl table, known as a Soban (소반) in Korean, transcends its function as a traditional low table to become a captivating work of art. At its heart lies a radiant peony vase motif, adorned with vibrant peony flowers and fluttering butterflies, framed by delicate lotus vine patterns. The artisan’s meticulous attention to detail is evident in the precise mother-of-pearl inlay, which gleams with timeless beauty.

A Soban That Stands Apart

The gently curved legs of this Soban elevate its aesthetic appeal, embodying regional interpretations of traditional Korean designs. Depending on the region, the legs are described as resembling tiger legs or dog legs, emphasizing their dynamic, sculptural quality. This unique structure not only enhances the table’s elegance but also contributes to its versatility as both a functional and decorative piece.

More Than a Table—A Display Stand for Treasured Pieces

Beyond serving as a table, this Soban can double as a display stand for your cherished ceramics or collectibles. The intricate mother-of-pearl detailing and artistic design make it the perfect stage for showcasing vases, bowls, or other precious items, drawing attention to their beauty while enhancing the ambiance of your space.

Create a Unique and Timeless Atmosphere

Envision this exquisite Soban gracing your tea-time setting, with its graceful lines and shimmering details inspiring awe in guests. Or picture it as a standalone display piece in a corner of your home, transforming the space into a refined gallery-like environment. Whether placed in the living room, dining area, or study, it adds a touch of elegance and history to your interior.

Symbolism Rooted in Tradition

The peony flowers symbolize wealth and prosperity, while the butterflies represent joy and renewal. The lotus vine motif signifies purity and resilience, bringing harmony and meaning to your home. This Soban carries the rich traditions of Korean culture, offering a connection to its heritage through both form and symbolism.
