black lacquer
Glossy dark coating
Black lacquer is a glossy, dark finish traditionally made from tree resin, most associated with East Asian decorative arts.
The technique involves applying multiple layers of lacquer, each polished before the next, creating a deep, mirror-like surface: a black lacquer cabinet, black lacquer chopsticks.
The term now extends to any furniture or object with a similar high-gloss black finish, whether made with traditional methods or modern synthetic coatings.
