ZHAOER

Craft

The Art of Patience

Over 100 processes. Each layer requires 24 hours to dry. A single piece takes months to complete.

01

Shaping

Wood is carefully selected and shaped, forming the foundation of each piece.

02

Layering

Dozens of lacquer layers applied by hand, each one dried in controlled conditions.

03

Polishing

Hand-polished to a mirror finish, revealing the depth and warmth within.

Four Decades of Devotion

Founded in 1982, ZHAOER has carried forward the millennia-old tradition of Chinese lacquer art, creating pieces that bridge past and future.
