lacquered wood
Varnished wooden surface
Lacquered wood is wood that has been coated with lacquer, a hard protective finish that dries to a glossy, durable surface.
The technique originated in East Asia, where artisans built up many thin layers to create richly colored decorative objects and furniture.
Lacquered wood resists moisture and wear better than unfinished wood, making it practical as well as beautiful.
