Lacquered and Inlaid Wood
Lacquered and Inlaid Wood.
Lacquered Work.—Hardly a Court without specimens. The higher class is applied to furniture and house decorations, but the lacquering of inferior objects, as walking-sticks, mats, bags, is carried on everywhere, even by the wandering jungle tribes.
Inlaid Work.—See the "Bombay Boxes." Inlaying is performed with brass and tin ware, sandal wood, ivory, staghorn, mother-of-pearl. The Taj has inlaid work of precious stones.
