FAQs

A Coromandel lacquer screen is a traditional Chinese folding room partition decorated using a technique known as kuan-cai (cut-out colour), where layers of dark lacquer are applied over wood, incised with detailed patterns, and filled with coloured pigments. The name originates from the Coromandel coast of India, a major transit point for trading ships bound for Europe during the 17th to 19th centuries.

These screens are crafted from softwood panels coated with a composition ground of clay and fibres before multiple layers of natural tree lacquer are applied and polished. Artisans carve narrative scenes or decorative motifs into the dark lacquer ground, subsequently applying mineral pigments and paints into the carved recessed areas.

Authentic 18th and 19th-century screens display age-related craquelure across the lacquer surface, precise hand-chiselled relief work, and natural mineral-based paints within the carved channels. Reproduction examples often feature flat printed finishes, synthetic lacquer, and modern metal hinges without hand-finished joinery.

A large multi-panel screen functions as a dramatic wall covering, a backdrop behind a sofa or headboard, or a freestanding architectural element to section off an open-plan room. Pairing the screen with minimalist contemporary furnishings highlights the intricate polychrome artwork and dark lacquered background.

Clean the lacquered surface regularly using a dry microfibre cloth or horsehair duster, avoiding water, liquid polishes, or chemical solvents that degrade lacquer layers. Position the item away from direct sunlight, central heating radiators, and fluctuating humidity levels to prevent timber movement and lacquer flaking.
