Coromandel lacquer is a type of Chinese lacquerware, latterly mainly made for export, so called only in the West because it was shipped to European markets via the Coromandel coast of south-east India, where the Dutch East Indies Company (VOC) and its rivals from a number of European powers had bases in the 18th century. The most common type of object made in the style, both for Chinese domestic use and exports was the Coromandel screen, a large folding screen with as many as twelve leaves, coated in black lacquer with large pictures using the kuan cai (literally "incised colors") technique, sometimes combined with mother of pearl inlays. Other pieces made include chests and panels.

  • Coromandel lacquer is a type of Chinese lacquerware, latterly mainly made for export, so called only in the West because it was shipped to European markets via the Coromandel coast of south-east India, where the Dutch East Indies Company (VOC) and its rivals from a number of European powers had bases in the 18th century. The most common type of object made in the style, both for Chinese domestic use and exports was the Coromandel screen, a large folding screen with as many as twelve leaves, coated in black lacquer with large pictures using the kuan cai (literally "incised colors") technique, sometimes combined with mother of pearl inlays. Other pieces made include chests and panels. But in Europe cabinet-makers often cut the screens into a number of panels, which were inserted into pieces of furniture made locally in the usual European shapes of the day, or mounted within wood panelling on walls. This was often also done with Japanese lacquer in rather different techniques, but "Coromandel" should only be used to refer to Chinese lacquer. The peak of the fashion for panelling rooms was the late 17th century. By the 18th century, Chinese wallpaper began to reach Europe, and generally replaced lacquer panels as a cover for walls. At the time of the first imports in the 17th century, Coromandel lacquer was known in English as "Bantam ware" or "Bantam work" after the VOC port of Bantam on Java, modern Bantem, Indonesia. The first recorded use of "Coromandel lacquer" is in French, from a Parisian auction catalogue of 1782. (en)
  • Un biombo de Coromandel es una pantalla plegable formada por varios paneles de madera recubiertos de laca negra y a menudo, con representaciones de la vida cotidiana china o bien motivos paisajísticos, usando con frecuencia el oro como principal color para pintar, así como la adhesión de piedras semipreciosas como el jade.​ Se calcula que los primeros biombos de Coromandel se empezaron a realizar en China del Norte durante la Dinastía Qing.​ A pesar de ser parte de la cultura china, el nombre proviene de la costa de Coromandel, en la India, donde los biombos y demás piezas de arte chinas eran embarcadas en buques transportadores de mercancías hacia Europa, llegando los primeros biombos a finales del siglo XVII.​ (es)
  • Un paravento di Coromandel è un paravento cinese di legno rivestito di lacca scura, che è intagliato prima di essere dipinto in oro o vari colori. Alcuni possono essere decorati con pietre preziose. Le tecniche di laccatura per i paraventi di Coromandel, note come kuancai (letteralmente "colori incisi"), emersero durante la tarda dinastia Ming (1368–1644) e furono applicate ai paraventi per creare schermi incisi, dipinti e intarsiati con madreperla, avorio o altri materiali decorativi. Potevano essere usati fino a trenta strati di lacca. Ciascuno strato poteva avere figure e motivi incisi, dipinti e intarsiati, e questo creava un disegno che risaltava contro uno sfondo scuro. I paraventi erano fatti in Cina e apparvero in Europa durante la fine del XVII secolo. Il nome si riferisce alla Costa del Coromandel in India dove i paraventi e altri arredi provenienti dalla Cina erano caricati sulle navi che portavano merci in Europa. La famosa stilista di moda Coco Chanel fu un'avida collezionista di paraventi cinesi, specialmente dei paraventi di Coromandel, e si crede che possedesse 32 paraventi, 8 dei quali erano ospitati nel suo appartamento al 31 di rue Cambon, Parigi. Una volta ella disse: Ho amato i paraventi cinesi da quando avevo diciotto anni. Sono quasi svenuta dalla gioia quando, entrando in una bottega cinese, ho visto un Coromandel per la prima volta. I paraventi sono stati la prima cosa che ho comprato. (it)
  • Parawan koromandelski – parawan hebanowy z panelami z wytłaczanej czarnej laki, często malowany złotem lub innymi kolorami, dekorowany aplikacjami z jadeitu i innymi kamieniami półszlachetnymi. Parawany tego typu liczyły często do 12 segmentów (były składane w gruby prostokąt). Ozdabiano je ilustracjami z życia Chińczyków lub krajobrazami chińskimi. Przypuszcza się, że parawany produkowano w północnej i środkowej części Chin, jednak nazwa ta pochodzi od zupełnie innego miejsca - wybrzeża Indii. Przywożono je do Europy, przez cały XVII wiek i początek XVIII wieku. (pl)
