Frequently Asked Questions

What is marble lacquer? Is it real marble?

Yes — it’s a solid natural marble slab (not resin, not composite). The carving is hand-incised by master artisans, then finished with 7+ coats of traditional Chinese raw lacquer — the same material used for millennia on Chinese lacquerware.

How fragile is it? Will it survive shipping?

Each panel ships in a custom double-layered crate. We’ve shipped hundreds worldwide with less than 0.5% damage rate. Free replacement if yours arrives damaged.

How do I hang it on the wall?

Each panel comes with pre-installed heavy-duty hanging hardware (two D-rings with wire, tested up to 30kg / 66lbs). Use a standard wall anchor rated for 15kg+.

What’s the story behind the two flying figures?

They’re apsaras — celestial musicians from Mogao Cave 321 (Tang Dynasty, ~7th-8th century). One plays a pipa behind her back; the other scatters flower petals. They represent joy, freedom, and transcendent beauty.

Is each piece handmade or mass-produced?

Each piece is individually hand-carved. No two are identical — the natural marble veining, the artisan’s tool marks, and the lacquer application create subtle variations. You’re buying a genuine original.
