At the centre rests a magnificent peacock, its sweeping tail rendered with hundreds of hand-cut mother-of-pearl pieces that shimmer with greens, golds, and soft rose tones. Each feather catches the light differently, giving the bird a lifelike presence, as if pausing mid-movement beneath a moonlit sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eButterflies drift across the panels, their wings formed from small shell fragments that glow with quiet iridescence. Around them, generous peonies bloom in pale white, lavender, and soft coral tones, anchoring the composition with a sense of fullness and calm beauty. The deep blue abalone background—known as cheongpae—creates a celestial atmosphere, reminiscent of twilight clouds or a still lake reflecting the last light of day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlong the borders, a refined vine-and-scroll pattern forms a delicate frame, balancing the richness of the interior scene with a sense of measured elegance. The screen’s proportions, combined with the rhythmic flow of colour, allow the work to read like a miniature tableau: intimate, detailed, and quietly majestic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is crafted for collectors who appreciate both rarity and artistry. Its intricate shellwork, layered textures, and vivid yet controlled colour palette reveal hours of expert hand-cutting and placement. When set upon a tabletop, console, or study shelf, the panels invite close observation, rewarding the viewer with new colours and reflections as the light changes throughout the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore than a decorative object, this folding screen behaves almost like a living work of art—glowing differently at dawn, at midday, and under evening lamps. In a quiet room, it becomes a small theatre of movement and stillness, offering a moment of beauty and contemplation to anyone who pauses before it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMiddle Part\u003cbr\u003eWidth- 30cm (11.82 inch)\u003cbr\u003eDepth- 1.5cm (0.59 inch)\u003cbr\u003eHeight- 35cm (13.18 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo side parts\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan\u003eWidth- 9cm (3.54 inch)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDepth- 1.5cm (0.59 inch)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeight- 35cm (13.18 inch)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal \u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan\u003eWidth- 48cm (18.9 inch)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDepth- 1.5cm (0.59 inch)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeight- 35cm (13.18 inch)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelated Links\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.artinko.com\/blogs\/korean-culture\/about-mother-of-pearl-art\"\u003eAbout Mother of Pearl Art\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.artinko.com\/blogs\/korean-culture\/about-korean-folding-screen\" title=\"About Korean Folding Screen\"\u003eAbout Folding Screen \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mother of Pearls","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48809409642727,"sku":null,"price":643.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/0100\/1191\/files\/511547E4-7818-4124-BA8E-46738F6115DE.jpg?v=1709363443","url":"https:\/\/www.artinko.com\/en-gb\/products\/mother-of-pearl-folding-screen-peacock-motif-on-abalone","provider":"ArtinKo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
