Everyone at the studio is very excited about the arrival of our first 'Pfeifer Finds.' Although we did not design these hand rubbed lacquer pieces ourselves, we found them so delicious (not to mention a perfect match to the other styles in our collection) that we knew we had to have them.

These elegant high-gloss tables are from China and you will only find them online at pfeiferstudio.com. Available in Red, Black and an absolutely perfect shade of White, they can add a bit of glamour to any interior.

Why lacquer? The technique first originated in Asia around 3000 BC, when the Chinese found that sap from the Rhus tree could be layered onto soft woods and dried to an enamel like finish.

It was more expensive than Bronze to execute, since multiple layers have to be poured and polished until the surface takes on an luminous depth with an almost three-dimensional quality.

We think that lacquer is still fun and sexy and hope to bring more great lacquer styles to you in the future!
