FAQs

Meiji period furniture (18681912) reflects an era when Japanese artisans adapted traditional craftsmanship for Western export markets. These pieces feature elaborate multi-layered lacquer techniques, gold dust embellishments, and detailed depictions of natural elements combined with European furniture forms such as cabinets on stands.

These cabinets were typically built using seasoned timber coated with sap harvested from the lacquer tree (urushi). Decorative elements utilized maki-e gold or silver powder application, lacquer raised in low relief, and hand-engraved brass or copper metal fittings for corner protection and hinges.

Authentic pieces feature fine hand-painted details, subtle depth in the gilded lacquer work, and hand-engraved metal mounts showing age-appropriate oxidisation. Look for precise joinery, fine craquelure under magnification, and natural wear patterns on high-touch areas.

A lacquer cabinet serves as a focal statement piece when positioned against neutral, unadorned walls in an entryway or living space. Pair the piece with understated modern lighting and textured natural fabrics to highlight the gold contrast and dark timber tones.

Keep lacquerware away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and heat sources to prevent cracking or lifting of the surface. Maintain a dust-free surface by wiping gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth, avoiding water, waxes, or chemical cleaners.
