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 porcelain. As a consequence, 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) consequently 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, with periodic revivals of interest.
