Rose peacock, mother-of-pearl gold leg cabinet

The Peacock Collection is truly the summit of mother-of-pearl art that fully expresses the exquisite rainbow shimmering of the nacre. The use of different types of mother-of-pearl, which are harvested from natural sources such as abalones and clams, maximizes the iridescence while at the same time creating depth and perspective. The collection’s highly elaborate motifs are created through the employment of a variety of sophisticated techniques in mother-of-pearl art, including coloring and carving, and some of the mother-of-pearl was sliced as thinly as a thread.
