Coromandel is a particular engraving technique, involving the elaborate application of layers of lacquer onto solid wood. Ornate decorations requested would be engraved by hand onto the material and the imprints meticulously lacquered upon to create the vibrant design. Originating in the east during the late Ming Dynasty, the technique was later brought to Europe in the 17 century with enormous success.
Available as a pair or can be sold individually.
