Ivory Veil Decorative Artifact

Homeware Design Ivory Veil Decorative Artifact by Xiaoge Zang This display object is crafted from natural lacquer through traditional Chinese lacquering techniques and is shaped to evoke the appearance of ivory. It contains no real ivory. Instead, copper and lacquer are skillfully combined to recreate ivory's warm tone, smooth texture, and refined visual quality. The making process is technically demanding and depends on specialized handwork that is now at risk of decline. By incorporating traditional Chinese decorative motifs, the work brings together material innovation, heritage craftsmanship, and contemporary awareness of wildlife protection.
