[QUOTE="15Stiftgasse, post: 9428830, member: 12382"]I've very recently acquired a Chinese cinnabar lacquer table. I assume that it perhaps dates from the late 19th or early 20th century and measures c.75cm high and max. c.40cm wide. The lacquer is in four colours (cinnabar red, black, brown and bronze) which perhaps may be unusual. The table has a black painted(?)/lacquered which has slightly lifted in a couple of small places, although the table itself seems to be in pretty good condition. However, it's pretty dusty and may perhaps benefit from being spruced up a little, but nothing drastic of course. I've found limited advice on the net regarding cleaning such larger items (more usually cinnabar jewelry, etc), which seems to be limited to using a damp cloth with minimum soapy water. I'd be grateful to hear if anyone else has cleaned cinnabar and may perhaps be able and willing to pass on any useful tips. Thank you in advance for any help whatsoever !
