Lacquer box | Mia Examples of carved lacquer that can be attributed to both these reigns are extant. They are bold in design and free from the superabundance of small detail that characterized later productions; the colour also is generally deeper and richer than that of the 18th-century pieces. In the 16th century there were special factories for carved lacquer at Dali in Yunnan , which also produced spurious imitations. Lacquer with designs painted in gold outlines were made, early in the Ming dynasty , at Nanjing and afterward at Beijing , and lacquer inlaid with mother-of-pearl was made at Jizhou in Jiangxi. In the reign of Xuande, lacquer decorated in sprinkled gold was introduced from Japan and excellent copies were made by Chinese lacquerers. Toward the end of the Ming dynasty there was a decline in lacquer manufacture as a result of the troubles accompanying the fall of the last Ming emperor. The first and perhaps the greatest of the Manchu emperors, Kangxi — , revived the lacquerwork industry in , when he established a series of 27 workshops for artistic handicrafts in the precincts of the palace at Beijing. Carved lacquer was, however, also made at Guangzhou , Suzhou , and Fuzhou. The Jesuit Louis le Comte, who arrived in China in , gave a good account of the flourishing state of the industry at that time. In this connection it is worth noting that the period of Kangxi was that which saw the first considerable importation of lacquerware and other objects of industrial art into Europe. This led to the development of imitation lacquer applied to furniture and other objects, which were conspicuous features of the chinoiserie craze of the late 17th and 18th centuries. A screen c. Freemer Smith, Esq. Carved lacquer of this period, though far from negligible, hardly attains to the rich colour, breadth, and simplicity of that of the Ming period. In technique the Kangxi ware shows an advance and is generally free from the small cracks too often found to have developed in the Ming products. The perfection of this quality, apart from other considerations, is found in the lacquerware of Emperor Qianlong —96 , a devoted admirer of this art, who employed it on a large scale for the furniture and fittings of his palaces, as well as for ceremonial and commemorative gifts. The workmanship of objects made under his auspices is brilliant in the extreme, but the colour is hard as compared with earlier work, and the design tends to a somewhat stereotyped formalism. Still, the 18th century can hardly be called a period of decadence in the decorative arts of China: the superb execution of its productions, a characteristic that commands admiration, redeems it from adverse criticism. The downward course began in the 19th century, with loss of originality and a falling off, due to adulteration, in the quality of the material. What was left of the imperial factories was burnt in , and, though carved red lacquer was made after that date, the industry had already ceased to have artistic importance.

STRAUSS ALLARD MEYER, A red lacquer and eggshell silver cigarette case, s | Symbolic & Chase Decorated lacquerware is a process that originated in China, more than years ago and later spread throughout East and Southeast Asia. The spread of Buddhism from the ninth century inspired the production of a large number of decorative lacquered objects for temples and for the privileged classes. In Japan, lacquer raw sap originally had a functional use as a varnish. Maki-e , the association of lacquer with decorative elements typical of Japanese art, came much later, and its date is uncertain. Japanese artists created their own style and perfected the art of decorated lacquerware during the 8th century. Japanese lacquer skills reached its peak as early as the twelfth century, at the end of the Heian period This skill was passed on from father to son and from master to apprentice. Lords and shoguns privately employed lacquerers to produce ceremonial and decorative objects for their homes and palaces. Picture by Thierry Ollivier. Most of the pieces imported from Japan and China via India were adapted to Western customs and tastes. Japanese lacquer art was one of the most popular items exported to Europe by Portuguese traders from Nagasaki from the 16th century. Two centuries later, Queen Marie-Antoinette built up a remarkable collection of lacquerware and in , in her gilded cabinet in Versailles, had a "lacquer cage" fitted out by the cabinetmaker Jean-Henri Riesener to house her precious Japanese lacquers.
