Repousse is the traditional art of hand-hammering decorative relief onto sheet metal. The technique originated circa 800 BC between Asia and Europe and in Chinese historical context, it began early as the Han Dynasty (206BC-AD220). The technique involves using a hammer and various shaping tools.

Lacquer is a technique that dates back to the Shang dynasty, circa 1600-1100 B.C. These pieces are made with at least 60 coats of organic lacquer. Each layer of lacquer is applied with a curing period of 24 hours in between so that it can dry.

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
