The Art of Leather-Core Lacquerware
The Leather Body:
A Foundation of Resilience The process begins with the selection of premium hides from mature cattle, horses, or sheep. Each leather core undergoes a rigorous cycle of soaking, molding, sun-drying, and precision sanding. This transformative journey spans two to three months, ensuring a structure that achieves a perfect equilibrium between suppleness and strength—a resilient foundation that resists cracking and endures through time.
The Lacquer:
110 Layers of Purity We utilize only the finest indigenous raw lacquer from the high mountains of Guizhou. After being filtered and purified over a thousand times, the lacquer is painstakingly applied in 110 individual coats, achieving a profound thickness of 4 to 6 mm. Each layer is cured within a meticulously controlled environment of specific temperature and humidity, resulting in a finish that is as deep as it is durable.
The Heritage Adhesives & Filigree Brilliance:
In keeping with ancestral wisdom, our adhesives are formulated from a traditional blend of egg whites, glutinous rice vinegar, and grass carp isinglass (fish maw)—a recipe that ensures an unbreakable, natural bond. The final artistry lies in our secret Cloisonné glazing technique; these proprietary mineral pigments are hand-applied to the delicate metal filigree, imbuing every pattern with a radiant, ethereal glow that seems to pulse with life.
