Description
Discover the captivating world of Chinoiserie, a 17th-to-19th-century European fascination with all things Chinese.
This beautifully illustrated introduction explores how Western designers reinterpreted the visual culture of the Far East, creating a fantasy world of exotic birds, dragons, and buildings inspired by Chinese temples. From interior design to tea sets and gardens, Chinoiserie reveals the evolution of this decorative art style from direct contact between Europe and Asia.
With its unique blend of Eastern and Western influences, Chinoiserie provides a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era of cultural exchange and artistic innovation.
