Description
Classic chinoiserie design overall. Notice the designs flow between joins, incredibly stylish always.
Chinoiserie style started in the early 17th century throughout Europe. The word derives from “chinois” French for Chinese.
European designers imitated the fanciful decorative designs on Chinese silks, art, lacquerware and furnishings.
The style has never fallen from grace. The Queen Anne period in the early 18th century was one of the most chinoiserie desired periods. Over the past three and a half decades in business, I have sold dozens of chinoiserie decorated pieces, from silk and rice paper art, to folding lacquered screens (two over the past year) many hanging bow-shaped hanging corner cupboards, desks, chairs, Chinese export sewing tables (two in storage)
The thing about a beautiful decorative chinoiserie piece is, there is only ever room for the one piece in your room. That one piece sits there either demanding attention or quietly rests saying, look here I am, you can’t beat my style and colouring, so take a seat and enjoy me.
