Collector’s Guide: Chinese Lacquer - Are You Buying Fakes?

In part two of this unscripted three part series, I will introduce several beautiful and unique pieces from Yuan - Ming dynasty mother-of-pearl inlay, to ornately carved cinnabar lacquer from the Qing dynasty. I will also talk about what real cinnabar lacquer looks like as well as highlighting clues that can assist in dating pieces. And I offer tips to collectors about handling real pieces and not buying fakes. This video is part 2 of this series. Part 3 will introduce additional exquisite items from China and Japan. #chineseart #carvedcinnabar #chineseantiques #lacquerware #motherofpearl #antiquehaul Note: Since people often ask about using gloves, I did consider to make this a suggestion in the video but I am of two minds about it. It depends on the piece and the gloves you use. For example for MOP work gloves are dangerous as even a tiny opening can get caught in the mop. And lacquer is pretty anodyne. Anyways, none of these pieces have ever been handled with gloves (ever throughout its history) so I think we are "ok." Many times gloves are just for show to make a piece look more rare. Clean hands are a must though.
