The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Antique lacquerware refers to decorative objects crafted from timber, papier-mache, or metal, finished with multiple layers of resinous sap or varnish to create a smooth, durable, and lustrous finish. Produced in East Asia as well as in Europe as Chinoiserie and Japanned wares, these pieces often feature elaborate hand-painted floral or figural motifs.

These items were typically constructed using a lightweight base material such as moulded papier-mache or finely joined wood. Craftsmen applied successive coats of natural lacquer, sanding each layer down before hand-painting intricate designs with metallic gilding, mineral pigments, and fine brushes.

Authentic period lacquerware often displays fine age-related craquelure across the lacquered surface, slight wear to gilding on high-contact points, and evidence of hand-carved or hand-moulded structural bases. Original pieces exhibit a distinct depth of finish and subtle irregularities in the painted decoration.

Group these detailed decorative pieces together on a console table, mantelpiece, or desk to create a curated vignette with rich visual texture. Combining dark lacquer and colourful floral motifs with neutral contemporary backgrounds creates an engaging contrast in traditional and eclectic settings.

Keep lacquerware away from direct sunlight, central heating radiators, and damp environments, as humidity fluctuations cause cracking and warping. Clean gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding water, chemical solvents, or abrasive polishes which permanently damage the delicate varnish.
