    Korean Black Mother of Pearl Chests & Vanity Desk
    1) Chests:
    These are 2 identical long chests which are low in height and are arranged side by side. They stand independently and are not connected to each other.
    The four pieces of artwork on the front of each chest depict the Plum Blossom, Orchid, Chrysanthemum and Bamboo, otherwise known as the "Four Gentlemen," a popular and widely-used theme in the Korean culture, literature and works of art. The Plum Blossom, Orchid, Chrysanthemum and Bamboo are also aligned with the four seasons of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter and they are considered to bear the virtues that a gentleman should have, hence the "Four Gentlemen."
    For some reason, one of the small drawers of the chest will go in further when pushed further in. One can simply pull this drawer back out so that the drawer is in line with the other drawers and nothing looks amiss.
    The dimensions for EACH chest are as follows:
    Length: 39 1/2" (100.5 cm)
    Height: 17 1/2" (44.5 cm)
    Depth: 14 1/2" (37 cm)
    * Height of 17 1/2" includes leg height of 1 1/4"(3.5 cm).
    2) Vanity Desk:
    The vanity desk is used with the user sitting on the floor, most likely on top of a flat cushion, as is often seen in the Korean culture. The left and right mirrors swing back and forth. There is some discolouring or stain especially on the top part of the left and right mirrors. Perhaps the mirrors can be replaced.
    The door pull on the left side has come off. Perhaps this can be glued back together.
    The dimensions for the Vanity Desk are as follows:
    Length: 47 1/2" (121 cm)
    Height: 69 1/4" (176 cm)
    Depth: 17 3/4" (45 cm)
