Rare work on lacquerwork or japanning. We can trace no copy at auction. The author states that he is a native of Antwerp and expert diamond cutter, who wants to improve the standard of cabinet-making in Portugal. The work includes making varnishes, the art of varnishing and gilding furniture and sculptures, and the preparation of gilt inks for manuscripts.
