Delphine & Natty's opinion

Martin varnish is the result of research to approach the lacquer technique. It enhances all types of supports and applies to all shapes, from the smallest object to the largest. The interiors of large residences are filled with it, making Martin varnish a witness to the art of living in 18th century France.
Authenticated object, rigorously checked in the workshop and certified.

The history of jewelry

These are the Martin brothers, whose fame associated their name with their technique, and then with all the lacquers produced in France. These varnishes, worked according to the same principle of superimposed layers as Far Eastern lacquer, nevertheless have nothing in common with it from the point of view of chemical composition. They vary depending on the workshop and their recipe is kept secret.
