Gilded lacquer, a treasured Chinese intangible cultural heritage, traces its origins to the Tang and Song dynasties, reaching its peak during the Ming and Qing dynasties. This intricate art form uses natural lacquer as its foundation, gold foil for decoration, and vermilion and black as its defining hues. The process involves layering and polishing lacquer, embedding inlays, and incorporating gold and silver elements. The result is a masterpiece that exudes oriental elegance, with shimmering colors resembling the delicate embroidery of lacquerware.
