Notes : The eggshell lacquer used for the X Table is a precious and delicate finish. In order to obtain the fine white cracked effect, real duck egg shells are used. They are washed and cleaned, baked to extract all dampness and then broken up in small pieces. They are then sieved to select fragments of the same size. Each fragment is delicately laid, with the help of tweezers, on a fresh coat of lacquer to form a mosaic or to create the required pattern.
It is sanded down and lacquered to obtain a perfect smooth surface. Depending on the desired finish, the lacquers are clear, amber or black. For darker coloured egg shell, it is obtained through the roasting of the shells to create subtle shades of browns.
Lead time : 10 to 12 weeks
