FAQs

Japanning is a European imitation of Asian lacquerwork that became highly fashionable in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries for decorating furniture and small containers like tea caddies.

These pieces are typically constructed from a solid timber carcass such as pine or mahogany, coated with multiple layers of varnish or lacquer, and adorned with metallic leaf details and brass hardware.

Authenticity is indicated by hand-mixed ground finishes, fine craquelure in the lacquer surface, hand-engraved brass mounts, and traditional joinery visible on the interior of the box.

Placing the box on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or desk adds a touch of historical texture and reflective metallic warmth to contemporary spaces.

Protect the surface by keeping it away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity fluctuations, cleaning only with a soft, dry microfiber cloth without chemical polishes.
