專家說明

Henry Clay was renowned for his japanning and papier mache business which he conducted out of Birmingham and then London from 1772 until his death in 1812. In 1772, he received a patent for a special process of pasting sheets of paper together and stove hardening them to producea durable substance suitable for furniture wares.
