Korean Najeonchilgi Music Box Phoenix Arirang Mother Pearl Lacquer Vintage Vintage Korean Najeonchilgi Music Box
Phoenix Arirang | Mother-of-Pearl Lacquer | 1970s-80s
Double-Door Cabinet | Working Sanyo Movement | Original Lock Key
A premium example of Korean najeonchilgi (나전칠기)—the centuries-old art of inlaying iridescent abalone into black lacquer. This is a traditional double-door cabinet with drawer storage, rare Phoenix motif, and a working Sanyo mechanical movement that plays "Arirang," Korea's unofficial national anthem.
Complete with original padlock and key (frequently missing on vintage pieces). Excellent lacquer condition. This represents the golden era of Korean export lacquerware (late 1970s-1980s) when craftsmanship standards peaked.
⭐ Why the Phoenix Motif Is Rare
Most vintage Korean music boxes feature cranes, peacocks, or butterflies—mass-produced motifs for export markets. The Phoenix (Bonghwang | 봉황) is significantly less common:
