Mother of Pearl Furniture Production

Our collection of Oriental Mother of Pearl Furniture is hand-made and hand-painted by highly skilled craftsman and can be finished in gloss Black or gloss Red.

Manufactured from good quality Chinese wood such as Elm and also includes some composite wood surfaces to prevent expansion and contraction that can be caused by changes in temperature and humidity, therefore reducing any cracking of the lacquer and paint, which would occur with natural wood.

The Mother of Pearl used (also known as Nacre) to enhance the capturing beauty of this style of furniture is an organic-inorganic composite material produced by some molluscs (probably known better to us as sea shells). Mother of Pearl also makes up the outer coating of pearls and is strong, resilient and its surfaces appear to change colour.

Oriental Mother of Pearl Furniture has a history that dates back thousands of years. The skills and techniques used in making this piece have been handed down from generation to generation. The Lacquer Furniture is hand made and hand painted by highly skilled craftsman.

Further to the base coat being applied, the piece is treated with several layers of natural lacquer. The craftsman then paints the fine gold coloured detail and decoration by hand on top of the lacquer before carefully applying the mother of pearl.

Being handmade, the furniture will not bear the same consistency of finish as mass machine produced furniture.

Slight variations in shape and colour may also occur with the decorative applications. You shold avoid placing the furniture in direct sunlight or against a radiator.

The unique individual nature of each piece of Oriental Mother of Pearl Furniture ensures its continued popularity and demand and resulting in the pieces being truly exquisite works of art.
