masterfully applied

material   Mother of pearl (MOP) is a traditional decorative material in Vietnam. The pieces are hand cut from pearl oyster shells. We preserve the original technique of hand applied and hand polished mother of pearl and natural lacquer. Eight layers of lacquer are applied to the substrate, dried and polished. Then the MOP pieces are inlaid in a layer of wet lacquer. Another ten layers of black lacquer are applied, dried and polished. The mother of pearl is selected and cut from different parts of the shell for colour variation and degrees of opalescence. The form and pattern of the MOP come from this selection and cutting process.

finishes   We finish all our surfaces by hand polishing them. The standard finish is opalescent. Options: Matt and high gloss (90 sheen).

substrate    The standard substrate is 30 mm MDF. For alternatives please consult our technical specifications, www.naturesquared.com/technical_info.htm.
