EXP Handmade Black Lacquer Decorative Sphere Box With Gold And Silver Flower Design (Thailand)

Use this decorative black, silver and gold lacquer sphere box as an accent piece, jewelry box, or anything else you can imagine. The top is beautifully hand-painted a striking combination of silver and gold floral design. The colors are produced from natural pigments and provide stunning contrast with the black lacquer base. The borders of the silver flowers are slightly raised, as are the adorable curly-Q designs and the dots which festoon the painted area, giving this one-of-a-kind container special appeal. The glossy black finish on which the designs are etched is produced through the application of seven layers of lacquer followed by a two-month drying process to achieve a rich luster. Northern Thai lacquerware is well known to interior designers worldwide, and is acclaimed for some of the globe's finest craftsmanship techniques. Lacquerware is created by applying the black resin of the "Lak" tree onto smoothly carved wood to give it a fine finish.
