The term "unlacquered" refers to something that is not coated with a protective layer or finish, specifically in reference to wood furniture. Lacquering is a process where a clear or colored varnish-like substance is applied over the surface of an object to protect it from wear and tear, as well as to enhance its appearance. When something is described as "unlacquered," it means that this finishing step has not been completed, leaving the wood exposed and vulnerable to damage such as scratches or stains.
