Champagne in lacquer, specifically
Champagne lacquer is where a colour tips into looking metallic, and on a large flat lid it can read as gold plastic under shop light. A satin finish is the safer specification here.
What champagne does for the piece
A warm neutral with a slight golden cast — a colour, not a metallic surface. It softens contrast and flatters yellow and rose gold, and it reads expensive without the risk a true metallic carries.
What champagne shows
Very little, which is one of its practical advantages over both white and ivory on an open counter.
Which metals and stones champagne suits
Yellow and rose gold. Against platinum and diamonds it reduces the contrast that makes those pieces read bright.
Why lacquered wood
A wood carcass built up in layers of lacquer and polished back to a piano finish. This is the heaviest and most formal thing we make.
Putting your logo on lacquered wood
Lacquer is engraved, or carries an inlaid metal plate. Foil does not bond reliably to a polished lacquer surface.
Cutting the interior in lacquered wood
The interior is a separate lined tray dropped into the carcass, so the lining material is chosen independently of the shell.
Dust with a dry microfibre cloth. Polish only with a product made for lacquer.
