Asian artists and craftsmen have used the resin of lac tree for millennia. Mixed with pigments, it is a traditional artistic media in China, Korea and Japan. Lacquered objects made in East Asia first reached Europe in about the early 16th century. Lacquer became available to European elites, likewise other luxury items including silk and porcelain. The taste for oriental decoration grew in France in the middle years of the 18th century. The demand for lacquer was so great that dealers in luxury goods (marchands-merciers) dismantled Japanese cabinets and Chinese Coromandel screens imported in earlier years. Cabinet-makers re-used the lacquer panels to fabricate new French furniture. East Asian lacquer continued to influence European art throughout the later 19th and the 20th centuries.
