Questions About Black Lacquer Dragon
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    Chinese black lacquer is a resin sourced from the Toxicodendron vernicifluum (formerly Rhus verniciflua) tree that grows throughout East Asia. Artisans produce decorative objects entirely from the substance or use it as a finish for wood and other materials. Find a selection of Chinese black lacquer furniture on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Though you can't exactly refinish black lacquer furniture, you can repaint it. As long as you prep the furniture with a primer, you should easily be able to repaint.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    To shine lacquer furniture, spray a tiny amount of solvent-based furniture cleaner and then wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Ensure that you choose a product specifically labeled as safe for lacquered finishes. Shop a collection of lacquer furniture 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
    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 ExpertMarch 3, 2023
    Whether you can use furniture polish on black lacquer furniture depends on the formulation. Heavier polishes may cause streaks and damage the finish. For best results, read the labels carefully and only choose products intended for lacquer. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of lacquer furniture.
