John Derian Lacquered Oval Tray (37in/94cm)

John Derian Lacquered Oval Tray (37in/94cm)American decoupage artist John Derian partners with The Lacquer Company to present this oval tray, handmade and lacquered to an impossibly smooth, glossy finish by experts in the son mai technique. The scalloped, cloud like silhoette will look most chic housing barware or a stack of your finest tomes. Handmade lacquer is very delicate and may be scratched or marred; use a soft, damp cloth to clean it and gently apply a car wax to restore the finish.
