Lacquered objects made in East Asia first reached Europe in about the early 16th century. Their flawless finish and light-reflecting qualities made them hence highly prized. Lacquer became available to European elites, likewise other luxury items including silk and also porcelain. East Asian lacquer continued to influence European art throughout the later 19th and the 20th centuries, with periodic revivals of interest.
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.
