FAQs

Chinoiserie represents the European interpretation and imitation of Chinese and East Asian artistic traditions, which peaked in popularity during the 17th and 18th centuries and saw revivals throughout the Victorian period.

These pieces typically feature a wooden core built up with multiple layers of natural resin or lacquer, finished with hand-painted or gilt motifs often depicting avian, floral, or landscape scenes.

Authenticity is determined by examining the crazing and oxidisation of the lacquer surface, the hand-applied nature of the metallic detailing, and the construction methods and hardware of the wooden carcass.

Place the piece on a coffee table, bookshelf, or mantelpiece to introduce textural contrast, historical depth, and a subtle sheen to modern spaces.

Keep lacquerware away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity fluctuations, dusting gently with a soft, dry cloth without the use of chemical polishes or water.
