FAQs

Chinese export lacquer refers to decorative wooden items produced in China specifically for Western markets from the 17th to the early 20th century, typically featuring black or coloured lacquer grounds with intricate gilt motifs depicting landscapes, figures, or floral scenes.

These pieces are traditionally constructed from lightweight hardwoods coated with multiple layers of natural tree sap lacquer. Artisans then cure, polish, and decorate the surface using gold leaf or powdered gold application techniques known as gilding.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-mixed natural lacquer finishes with micro-crazing, wear patterns consistent with age, hand-applied gilt detailing rather than modern printing, and traditional joinery methods visible on the underside or joints.

These versatile pieces can be nested together as a decorative accent surface or separated and placed beside seating areas as functional side tables, contrasting effectively against minimalist or contemporary furnishings.

Preserve lacquer furniture by keeping it out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources to prevent cracking. Dust gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth and avoid chemical polishes, water, or abrasive cleaners.
