In 1728, the Martin brothers in Paris developed an imitation lacquer based on copal, the Martin varnish, intended to compete with lacquer from China and Japan. This varnish, less expensive for the decoration of furniture than the application of lacquer panels, also served to harmonize furniture with an important curve, the lacquer panels not being able to be too rounded. The Martin varnish created the connection between these panels so that the furniture is visually homogeneous. However, it had its own existence by reproducing and interpreting works of painters of the time applied to the furniture as a decoration. Martin varnish was also used in the nineteenth century on furniture style.
