Coromandel refers to a traditional Chinese lacquer technique that involves carving through multiple layers of lacquer to create intricate, detailed designs. The name originates from the Coromandel Coast of India, where these lacquered screens and furniture pieces were once exported to Europe. Coromandel pieces are often characterized by rich colors, elaborate motifs, and a luxurious, textured appearance. See less
