Restoring & Repairing Chinese Lacquer work

This modern Chinese gilded screen had suffered damage in transit. The colour on the screens was scratched back to the base coat black and several areas of painting had been lost. I re-painted the flowers and trunk areas then re-gilded and matched the coloured glaze and all the damage was hidden. 

Unfortunately I forgot to take a photo of the original damage so I can only show the finished item!

You can see my sample board with tests to get the beautiful translucency of colour and exact tint of lustre in the lacquer correct.

I am happy to look at any painted damage with a view to restoring it, whether its a modern or antique piece.
