natural finish

No lacquer applied

A natural finish is a coating or treatment that preserves the original appearance of a material rather than altering its color or texture.

On wood, a natural finish allows the grain to show through: The cabinets have a natural finish rather than paint.

The term applies to furniture, flooring, leather goods, and other surfaces where the authentic look of the material is desirable.

A natural finish typically involves clear sealants, oils, or waxes rather than pigmented stains or paints.
