Hessa 60 Inch Dresser
A shell-inlay floral design made from mother-of-pearl adds an iridescent sheen to this ultra-feminine piece. The small, intricate shellwork is handset and makes the Hessa sparkle with depth. Bottom mount drawer hinges in the dresser and nightstands make them as practical as they are pretty.
What To Expect
Mother of pearl (MOP) inlay is a time-honored technique that requires a highly-skilled artisan to produce. Each piece of MOP is meticulously carved by hand and then placed in a specific pattern. Resin is then carefully hand mixed and poured to fill the spaces between the inlay, which can lead to some variation in color and pattern. Polishing with water also adds to the individual appearance of each item. Keep in mind that you might see some chipping on the MOP and gaps or uneven sections within the inlay pattern. Additionally, cracks and a yellow tint are expected to appear over time, a nod to its natural beauty as it ages.
