Gold lacquer - a symbol of power, wealth and dignity - was the privilege of the imperial family in ancient China. Furniture, jewellery boxes or decorative objects with fine gold inlays decorated the palaces of dynasties and expressed not only aesthetic excellence but also social status.
Today, this exceptional craft is still alive and can be admired, for example, in Museum of gold lacquer and marquetrywhere we met an expert in traditional lacquer techniques. He introduced us not only to the history, but also to the exact procedures of how gold is carefully applied in several layers to wood and lacquer, and gave us an insight into the daily life of the Chinese nobility.
Gold lacquer is not just a decoration - it's a heritage that combines craftsmanship, cultural symbolism and historical depth.
