Mother Of Pearl

Each piece of our handcrafted mother-of-pearl furniture is the result of a time-tested process, carried out in line with centuries-old artisanal traditions.

  • The artisans start by inspecting the furniture base for blemishes or flaws; any inconsistencies are carefully addressed to create the perfect canvas for the artistry to come.
  • Base coats are then precisely applied, creating a smooth and even foundation for the masterpiece to unfold.
  • With a steady hand and a keen eye for detail, the craftsmen then meticulously hand-paint gold detailing and scenic artistry, a process that takes many hours.
  • Having established this, carved mother of pearl sculptures are then carefully set onto the surface to compliment the chosen theme and hand-painted scenes.
  • With the artwork complete, several layers of natural lacquer are applied to create a protective coat and enhance both the vibrant colours and shimmering pearl.

Gold Leaf Furniture

Gold leaf is as vibrant and eye-catching as it is difficult to work with in furniture. However, our trusted team of Chinese artisans have turned this delicate art form into an exact science for an exquisite finish every time.
 

  • The journey begins with a careful inspection of the furniture base, keeping a careful eye for lumps, warping and inconsistencies. This creates the perfect canvas for the gold leaf to adhere to, maximising its brilliance.
  • Next comes the bonding process. A specially formulated adhesive is applied with the utmost care, creating a secure foundation for the gold leaf.
  • Delicate sheets of gold leaf are then applied by hand. Extraordinary care is taken to avoid any tears or creases in the fragile gold.
  • A soft brush is employed to gently press the gold leaf onto the surface further enhancing its adhesion and smoothing away imperfections.
  • Details and thematic elements like flowers or cranes are then painstakingly hand painted over the course of many hours.
  • The final touch involves the application of several layers of natural lacquer, adding both a brilliant shine and an important protective coating to the gold leaf furniture that safeguards the artwork for years to come.
