Caring for wooden inlay and lacquer work
Editorial team · updated 2026-09-29
Stable humidity
Wood swells and shrinks with humidity. Fast changes lift inlay and crack lacquer. Keep pieces away from radiators, air vents and damp walls.
Cleaning
Dust with a soft brush. Do not use water, oils or furniture polish on inlay or lacquer.
