Antique Alive Mother of Pearl Watermelon and Poppy Design Black Metal Steel Knife Office Sword Blade Hand Envelope Gift Letter Opener

This stylish letter opener gift depicts the 16th century masterpiece paintings of Sinsaimdang (1504-1551), an icon of womanly and motherly virtues in Korea. She was the mother of Yi Yul-gok, the illustrious Confucian scholar from the Joseon dynasty and a consummate artist who excelled especially at chochungdo (painting of grass and insects). She was an attentive observer of each and every flower and grass growing in her garden, and insects such as butterflies, bees, mantises and grasshoppers visiting these blossoms. Her works meticulously reproduce their shapes and colors down to the minutest details and finest hues. The arrangement of intricate design's iridescence and color of mother of pearl creates wonderful harmony with the black background, making it a remarkably attractive piece. This letter opener will make a gift of great sophistication, cherished significance, and kind-heartedness.
