The bronze-trimmed hexagonal bin is typical of the clean-lined, classic style of its designer, Veere Grenney. His design is handmade by experts in the Son Mai lacquering technique and finished with an impossibly smooth dark-green gloss. It adds instant polish to a den or study. Handmade lacquer is very delicate and may be scratched or marred; use a soft, damp cloth to clean it and gently apply a car wax to restore the finish.
