FAQs

Japanese lacquerware, known as urushi, is a traditional craft involving sap from the lacquer tree applied to wood bases. The Edo period spanned from 1603 to 1868, followed immediately by the Meiji period from 1868 to 1912, marking significant eras of artistic refinement.

These items typically utilise a wooden core coated with multiple layers of refined tree sap resin. Gold and silver dust or flake techniques, known as maki-e, are hand-sprinkled onto the wet lacquer surface to create intricate metallic designs.

Authentic pieces often display subtle natural irregularities, hand-carved wooden substrates visible on unlacquered undersides, and fine maki-e brushwork. Age is typically indicated by surface wear patterns, oxidation of the lacquer, and traditional signature marks.

An antique lacquer tray functions effectively as a focal point when placed flat on a coffee table or sideboard, allowing its reflective black surface and metallic motifs to contrast against contemporary neutral textures.

Antique lacquer should be kept away from direct sunlight, extreme humidity fluctuations, and heat sources to prevent cracking. Cleaning requires only a soft, dry microfiber cloth without chemical polishes, abrasives, or immersion in water.
