Description
An imitation lacquer furniture finish. Vernis Martin lacquers were developed by the Martin brothers in France in the 18th century. The original furniture finish formula used a copal resin melted with Cyprus turpentine, amber, oil of turpentine, rosin, and a drying oil. The resin mixture was colored with black, red or blue (Prussian blue) pigments or powdered metal (bronze, gold, copper) to produce deep-toned, satiny finish, lacquer layers. As the technique became popular, the name 'vernis Martin' was soon applied generically to all imitation japanned coatings.
