How do I clean a lacquer panel?

Dust the surface gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth to remove loose particles without scratching the delicate lacquer. Avoid using water, chemical polishes, or abrasive cleaners, which can permanently damage the finish and inlay work.

Are these panels fragile?

While built on sturdy timber or hardwood bases, the outer lacquer and inlaid hardstones require careful handling to prevent chipping. Keep them away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity changes to protect the wood from warping.

How are multi-fold screens supported?

Large folding screens utilise sturdy brass or metal hinges connecting each leaf, allowing the structure to stand in a zig-zag configuration for stability. Position the folds at gentle angles so the weight distributes evenly across the floor without straining the hardware.

Can wall plaques be hung directly?

Most wall plaques and framed panels are equipped with secure hanging fixings or heavy wooden frames designed to bear the weight. Ensure wall fixings anchor directly into solid masonry or studwork due to the substantial density of the hardwood bases.
