The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Japanning was a European finishing technique developed in the late 17th and 18th centuries to imitate East Asian lacquerwork. It involved applying multiple layers of resin-based varnishes over a primed wooden carcass, decorated with gilded chinoiserie motifs.

These cabinets were typically built with a softwood or oak carcass, coated in gesso and built-up layers of lacquer or varnish. Decorative elements used shellac, gold leaf, and metallic pigments, finished with cast brass hardware such as butterfly or H-hinges.

Authentic pieces display signs of natural age, including fine surface cracking (craquelure) in the lacquer, hand-planed timber surfaces on the reverse, hand-forged nails, and hand-cast brass fittings showing mild surface oxidisation.

A corner cabinet can be positioned to make use of underutilised wall corners in dining rooms, hallways, or living spaces. The dark lacquer and metallic highlights create visual contrast when set against neutral or deeply saturated wall paints.

Keep the cabinet away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and damp environments to prevent wood movement and lacquer flaking. Dust gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth, avoiding chemical polishes, wax, or water-based cleaners.
