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. Lacquer dries to a very hard and smooth surface layer. It is also durable, waterproof and very attractive to feel and look at. Lacquer objects became available to European elites in the 18th century. They were highly prized likewise other luxury items including silk and porcelain.
In the early 20th, European artists such as Eileen Gray, Jean Dunand or Gaston Suisse appropriated the secret lacquer techniques of Asia. They created then some among the very best pieces of furniture of the Art Deco period.
