Najeon Chilgi (Korean mother-of-pearl lacquerware) is a traditional Korean craft that dates back over a thousand years.

The technique involves embedding finely cut pieces of mother-of-pearl (nacre) onto wooden objects and coating them with multiple layers of lacquer to enhance durability and shine.

It flourished during the Goryeo Dynasty (918–1392) and reached its peak during the Joseon Dynasty (1392–1897), where it was used for royal and aristocratic items such as furniture, jewelry boxes, and writing desks.
