Questions About Japanese Lacquered Chest
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    You can restore Japanese lacquer that has been damaged by exposure to light by gently buffing it with carnauba wax. Use a soft cloth to gently rub the wax into the piece, removing any excess and avoiding undamaged lacquer. Take a look on 1stDibs for a variety of pieces featuring Japanese lacquer.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Japanese lacquer is made of resin produced from the sap of the Urushi tree. Artisans craft bowls, vases, boxes and other items out of the material. Find a collection of Japanese lacquer furniture and decorative objects and art on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Japanese lacquerware items are finished with a sap that comes from the lacquer tree. This finish is prone to degradation, especially if exposed to sun and water, and age will take its toll as well. To clean lacquerware items, wet a lint-free cloth and wring as much water out as you can, then wipe the item. Finish by drying it with a soft lint-free cloth. Shop a range of antique and vintage Japanese lacquerware on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To fix Japanese black lacquer, take it to a furniture repair shop that has previously worked with the material. Lacquer is very delicate. Attempting to fix a piece on your own could cause further damage. On 1stDibs, find a selection of Japanese black lacquer.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To clean a Japanese lacquer box, start by moistening a soft lint-free cloth with warm water. Ring it out and then gently rub every surface. Do not use soap as it may damage the lacquer. Dry the box promptly with a second soft, dry lint-free cloth. On 1stDibs, find a variety of Japanese lacquer boxes.
