First developed as a royal emblem during the reign of King Jeongjo (r. 1776-1800), chaekgado became a popular furnishing item among aristocrats. The CMA screen consists of thirty-five compartments containing a variety of artful utilitarian objects, antiquities in addition to multiple volumes of books. Material: 100% silk, with rolled edges.

Encouraged and popularized by King Jeongjo (1752–1800, r. 1776–1800) as a political tool to promote Korean cultural norms against an influx of ideas from abroad, chaekgeori was one of the most enduring and prolific art forms of Korea’s Joseon dynasty (1392–1910). It depicts books and other material commodities as symbolic embodiments of knowledge, power, and social reform. 249 pages Published 2017
