The word \u201clacquer\u201d came from the French word \u201clacre\u201d meaning \u201ca kind of sealing wax\u201d. The earliest lacquer finishes were made of resin derived from trees and wax. Nowadays, lacquer finish is applied on high-grade furniture and makes them more durable and resistant to damage.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_76 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Contents:<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lafurniturestore.com\/advice\/glossary\/lacquer-finish\/#What_are_the_Types_of_Lacquer_Finish\" >What are the Types of Lacquer Finish?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lafurniturestore.com\/advice\/glossary\/lacquer-finish\/#Is_Lacquer_Finish_Different_From_Varnish\" >Is Lacquer Finish Different From Varnish?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lafurniturestore.com\/advice\/glossary\/lacquer-finish\/#What_are_the_Benefits_and_Drawbacks_of_Lacquer_Finish\" >What are the Benefits and Drawbacks of Lacquer Finish?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_Types_of_Lacquer_Finish\"><\/span>What are the Types of Lacquer Finish?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Nitrocellulose lacquer finish becomes more amber red through time. It is primarily used for musical instruments such as pianos, violins, and guitars. Nitrocellulose lacquer finish was also utilized for coating automobiles in the middle of the 1900s. This lacquer finish may crack or \u201ccraze\u201d through the years as it is not as protective against liquids, abrasions, and chemicals as other types.<\/p>\n<p>An acrylic lacquer finish is more heavy-duty and resistant to scratches compared to a nitrocellulose lacquer finish. This lacquer finish was first used in the 1950s on birch, ash, and maple woods.<\/p>\n<p>The catalyzed lacquer finish is made up of chemicals which results in a harder and more durable finish versus acrylic and nitrocellulose lacquer finishes.<\/p>\n<p>A waterborne lacquer finish is made from substances that are healthier for the environment and are therefore less toxic. However, this lacquer finish offers less protection for wood.<\/p>\n<p>The urushiol-based lacquer finish is made from the chemical urushiol produced by the wax and lacquer trees of East Asia. This lacquer finish is a common feature of furniture, instruments, and lacquerware in that region.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Lacquer_Finish_Different_From_Varnish\"><\/span>Is Lacquer Finish Different From Varnish?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The lacquer finish is relatively superior to varnish, especially in terms of sheen and durability. Lacquer finish has a higher sheen level than varnish which makes it more attractive in look and feel. Lacquer finish also provides stronger protection against wear and tear, liquids and chemicals, and scratches than varnish. The lacquer finish is utilized more for high-quality furniture.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lafurniturestore.com\/\">LA Furniture Store<\/a> has a wide selection of modern furniture with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lafurniturestore.com\/catalogsearch\/result\/?q=Lacquer\">Lacquer Finish<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lafurniturestore.com\/a-x-victoria-modern-black-crocodile-lacquer-6-drawer-chest.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lafurniturestore.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/cache\/538cc4518959cfdf52cabbc47ba94e19\/v\/i\/victoria_vgun_78354_black_chest_1.jpg\" alt=\"A&amp;X Victoria -
