Rhus lacquer has a black color, and Hwangchil has a transparent gold color and a rich camphoric perfume (benzoin). These lacquers have been used since ancient times. In this study, analytical techniques, such as Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS), were used to study the traditional Rhus lacquer and Hwangchil films, avoiding time-consuming and destructive extraction procedures. To compare the Rhus and Hwangchil lacquers, reference lacquer films were prepared using Rhus and Dendropanax saps. These films were then analyzed using FT-IR, XPS, and TOF-SIMS. After establishing the methodology using the reference lacquer films, surface analytical techniques were applied to two different plates painted by an artist. The results suggest that FT-IR, XPS, and TOF-SIMS are simple and complementary analytical techniques for the discrimination of old lacquer films. Copyright (C) 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
