Lacquer is a laborious and time-consuming process. After it is tapped from the
trees, lacquer needs to be boiled and strained to rid of impurities and prepare it as
a coating. The lacquer technique is to apply in thin layers multiple times, waiting
for each layer to dry for 24 hours before the next application. After the lacquer
dries, artisans then hand carve these intricate designs as seen on the doors of this
cabinet.

Message from Seller:

Kuo is inspired by organic forms found in nature, as well as the timeless motifs of the Chinese Han and Ming dynasties, often combining them with Deco and Nouveau influences. Called “the imperial craftsman of the 21st century,” Kuo reinterprets the past for the present. P: 323-931-1820 E: kkuo@robertkuo.com
