FAQs

Japanese lacquerware, known as urushi, has a history spanning thousands of years, utilising the sap of the lacquer tree to create durable, highly glossy surfaces. The maki-e technique involves sprinkling gold or silver powder onto wet lacquer using a fine bamboo tube or brush to create intricate pictorial designs.

These items are traditionally crafted from a wooden or papier-mache core, which is meticulously coated with multiple layers of refined tree sap resin. Each layer is cured in a humid environment before being hand-polished, painted, and enamelled by skilled artisans.

Authentic antique pieces typically exhibit organic irregularities from handcrafting, subtle crazing or age-related patina in the lacquer, and traditional pigments. Closer inspection often reveals meticulous hand-painted detailing and distinctive base finishes characteristic of specific historical eras like the Meiji or Taisho periods.

Antique lacquerware can be incorporated into contemporary settings by displaying them within glass-fronted cabinets, on open shelving as sculptural accents, or as part of a curated tablescape. Their deep black surfaces and metallic highlights provide a sophisticated contrast to minimalist or modern organic design schemes.

To preserve antique lacquer, keep items away from direct sunlight, extreme temperature fluctuations, and low humidity, which can cause the wood substrate to shrink and crack. Clean gently with a soft, dry microfiber cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners, abrasive materials, or submerging the pieces in water.
