FAQs

Japanese lacquerware, known as urushi, has a history spanning thousands of years, utilised for durability and decorative elegance to store precious items, documents, and personal treasures.

These pieces are crafted from a wood base coated with multiple layers of sap from the lacquer tree, often finished with intricate hand-painted designs using metallic powders like gold and silver in maki-e techniques.

Authenticity is identified by examining the natural ageing of the lacquer surface, subtle irregularities characteristic of handcraftsmanship, traditional wood construction methods, and period-specific artistic motifs.

An antique lacquer box serves as a sophisticated accent piece when displayed on a coffee table, bookshelf, or console, adding texture, cultural depth, and historical contrast to contemporary spaces.

To preserve antique lacquer, keep the item out of direct sunlight to prevent fading and drying, maintain stable humidity levels, and dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth without using chemical cleaners.
