Oriental Lacquer Furniture Production

Chinese Lacquer Furniture is handmade and hand-painted by our highly skilled craftsmen.

It has a history dating back thousands of years and the skills and techniques used in making this furniture have been handed down from generation to generation.

The unique individual nature of each piece of Oriental Lacquer Furniture ensures its continued popularity and demand.

Oriental Lacquer Furniture is made from good quality Chinese wood (similar to pine), with some highest quality composite wood surfaces. Good quality composite wood is used because it does not expand and contract very much with changes in temperature and humidity, therefore reducing the possibility of the lacquer cracking, which would occur with natural wood.

Further to the base coat being applied, the piece is treated with several layers of natural lacquer. The craftsman then paints the fine gold coloured detail and decoration by hand on top of the lacquer. A final lacquer coat is then applied resulting in a truly exquisite work of art

One of the advantages of handmade furniture is that it will not bear the same consistency of finish as mass machine produced furniture. Slight variations in shape and colour may also occur with the decorative applications. You should avoid placing the furniture in direct sunlight or against a radiator.
