<p>[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 238386, member: 2844"]It is Chinese black lacquer inlaid with mother of pearl. If that is removed there is just bare wood without the artistry of the piece. Having it redone would not only mean we end up with a modern table, but, given that Chinese lacquer took months of layering, would cost the earth. If we ever find someone capable of doing it. Plus shipping cost to China. It is probably less costly to find another table. Sad thing is, this is one of a pair.</p><p><br /></p><p>It would be a pity to sacrifice an almost perfect tray and to split up a pair as well.
