<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 316056, member: 111&quot;]Brad, I&#039;ve always thought of &#039;Japanning&#039; as black lacquer - the crystalline finish on old trunks and boxes was done with a chemical (darned if I know what), similar to galvanization, then coated with a colored transparent lacquer (amber for the most common gold tone in this case), it was done to the embossed metal coverings too, but is almost always worn off of them.&nbsp; Maybe since they were coated with a lacquer, might be considered &#039;Japanned&#039; too...</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
