By exploring the processes of making lacquered wood artifacts, especially the lacquering process, we can obtain important information useful for the conservation and restoration of cultural relics. The preservation status of two gold lacquered wood carvings to be exhibited was assessed using X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, infrared spectrometry and laser Raman spectrometry, micro-morphology analysis and X-radiography. Based on the testing and analysis results, and in compliance with the basic principles of cultural relic restoration (such as not changing the original state of cultural relics, minimum intervention and authenticity, etc.), we conducted conservation and restoration by cleaning and disinfecting the two artifacts, complementing and coloring the wooden cores, reattaching and completing the lacquer layer, which had serious warping and was falling off. After this treatment, the artifacts are in stable states and show certain durability. These efforts have achieved the purposes of exhibition and safe, long-term storage.
