LACQUER, or LACICER

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 53 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KRO-LAP
LACQUER, or LACICER , a general term for coloured and frequently opaque varnishes applied to certain metallic objects and to
wood
 . The term is derived from the resin lac, which substance is the basis of lacquers properly so called. Technically, among Western nations, lacquering is restricted to the coating of polished metals or metallic surfaces, such as brass, pewter and tin, with prepared varnishes which will give them a golden, bronze-like or other lustre as desired. Throughout the
East
  Indies the lacquering of wooden surfaces is universally practised, large articles of household furniture, as well as small boxes, trays, toys and papier-mache objects, being decorated with
bright
 -coloured and variegated lacquer. The lacquer used in the
East
  is, in general, variously coloured sealing-wax, applied, smoothed and polished in a heated
condition
 ; and by various devices intricate marbled, streaked and mottled designs are produced. Quite distinct from these, and from all other forms of lacquer, is the lacquer
work
  of Japan, for which see JAPAN, Art.
