we have traveled the world INSPIRED BY DESIGN AND CRAFT THROUGHOUT OUR THIRTY YEAR HISTORY, OUR GREEN PHILOSOPHY AND ENVIRONMENTAL

CONSCIENCE HAS NOT WAVERED. OUR ABILITY TO REUSE MATERIALS, BOTH MANMADE AND NATURAL, ENCOURAGED US

TO CREATE A UNIQUE ACCESSORIES COLLECTION FROM ALL CORNERS OF THE WORLD WHILE DOING SOMETHING GOOD

FOR IT! SEARCHING MARKETPLACES, INSPECTING WORKSHOPS AND FACTORIES, TOUCHING INDIGENOUS CULTURES AND

THEIR UNIQUE MATERIALS, LOOKING INTO THE FACES OF ARTISANS . . . TO FIND THE PROVERBIAL NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK

AND THE UNDISCOVERED THING OF BEAUTY. DISCRIMINATING TASTE IN DESIGN DEMANDS THE UTMOST ATTENTION TO

DETAIL. THAT IS WHY WE AT JANUS ET CIE CAN OFFER YOU A STOCKED PROGRAM OF CREATIVE INNOVATION, FINE MATERIALS

AND L ASTING QUALIT Y . . . EACH PIECE AN INSPIRING EXAMPLE OF BEAUTIFUL DESIGN AND SUPERIOR CRAFTSMANSHIP.

care and preservation guidelines

EACH PIECE IN THE DETAILS COLLECTION IS A UNIQUE TREASURE GATHERED FROM MANY CORNERS OF THE WORLD. . . ALL

COLLECTED WITH A STRONG CONSCIOUSNESS OF NATURE, A RECOGNITION OF RECLAIMED MATERIALS, AND PROCLAIMING

THE SKILL OF REGIONAL ARTISANS. THESE ITEMS REQUIRE PARTICULAR CARE AND ATTENTION IN ORDER TO PROLONG YOUR

ENJOYMENT AND THE LIFE CYCLE FOR WHICH THEY WERE INTENDED. VARIATIONS WILL BE FOUND IN COLOR, SHAPE, AND

DIMENSIONS; PLEASE RECOGNIZE THE POTENTIAL FOR THOSE BEAUTIFUL DEVIATIONS AND RESPECT THEIR STORIES.

lacquer

PROTECT YOUR L ACQUER WARE FROM THE DAMAGING EFFECTS OF THE EXTREME HEAT, DIRECT SUNLIGHT, PROLONGED

EXPOSURE TO MOISTURE OR ACIDIC SUBSTANCES. PLEASE DO NOT USE ANY CHEMICALS; RATHER ROUTINELY, USE A DRY OR

DAMP SOFT CLOTH TO GENTLY CLEAN YOUR LACQUER WARE. DO NOT SOAK OR USE HOT WATER.

what is lacquer and how is true lacquer made and applied?

LACQUER IS A NATURAL ORGANIC SUBSTANCE THAT COMES FROM THE SUMAC FAMILY OF TREES (RHUS VERNICIFLUA OR RHUS

SECCEDANEA). THE TRADITIONAL PROCESS CAN TAKE UP TO FOUR MONTHS TO FINISH ONE PIECE. ALL PRODUCTS ARE HAND

MADE. THE CORE IS MADE FROM DRIED TIMBER, BAMBOO OR L ACQUER SATURATED CANVAS (DRY L ACQUER). THE SHAPE IS

CAREFULLY EXAMINED FOR DEFECTS, REFINED AND THEN SEALED WITH A PRIMER OF LACQUER. AFTER SEEING THAT EACH ITEM

PRESENTS AN EXCELLENT SHAPE AND CLEAN HARD SURFACE, THE PRODUCT IS COVERED WITH L ACQUER SATURATED FINE

COTTON GAUZE FOR REINFORCEMENT AND TO INSURE NO CRACKING OF THE FORM AT A LATER STAGE, PROVIDING CORRECT

CARE IS TAKEN BY THE USER.

73

THE NEXT HAND APPLIED L AYER IS A THICK UNDERCOATING MADE FROM L ACQUER, FINELY GROUND SAWDUST AND

ALLUVIAL SOIL. IT IS THEN HARDENED IN A DARK, HUMID AND WARM PROTECTED ENVIRONMENT FOR MANY DAYS. THE

TIME VARIES DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE OBJECT AND VARIABLE WEATHER CONDITIONS AT THE TIME. SANDING

PROCESSES ARE BEGUN WITH ABRASIVE STONES OR SANDPAPER AND THE OBJECT IS WASHED WITH FRESH WATER TO

PREPARE FOR THE COATS OF L ACQUER. THIS PROCESS IS REPEATED SEVERAL TIMES. USING A NATURAL HAIR BRUSH, A

MIDDLE COATING IS APPLIED BEFORE THE L ACQUER COLOR. THE L ACQUER IS BEATEN SEVERAL HOURS AND FILTERED

THROUGH LAYERS OF COTTON. THIS VERY PURE LACQUER IS THEN APPLIED WITH A HAND BRUSH AS A THICK COATING. IT

IS AGAIN STORED TO HARDEN, IN A DUST FREE DARK ENVIRONMENT FOR MANY DAYS. ONCE AGAIN IT IS HAND SANDED

AND CLEANED UNDER WATER. THESE PROCESSES ARE REPEATED MANY TIMES BEFORE THE FINISH. FINAL COATINGS ARE

APPLIED WITH VERY PURE LACQUER AND HAND POLISHED BETWEEN EVERY COATING, THE INDIVIDUAL MAKER SIGNS HIS OR

HER NAME AND THE PRODUCT IS HAND-BURNISHED AND SMOOTHED BY VARIOUS SUBSTANCES SUCH AS STONES AND

CHARCOAL ACCORDING TO THE DESIRED MATTE, SEMI MATTE OR GLOSSY SURFACE.

raw lacquer - the material

THE RAW NATURAL LACQUER IS TRANSPARENT BROWN. COLOR LACQUER IS MADE BY SOPHISTICATED REFINING OF THE

NATURAL SAP AND THEN ADDING MINERAL PIGMENTS. THERE ARE T WO MAIN COLORS OF L ACQUER, RED AND BL ACK

WHICH HAVE NOT CHANGED FOR SEVERAL THOUSAND YEARS. BRIGHTLY COLORED LACQUER IS NOT NATURAL AND DOES

NOT HAVE THE SAME DEPTH. GENUINE L ACQUER IS CAREFULLY APPLIED WITH NATURAL BRUSHES, ENTIRELY BY HAND.
