FAQs

Chinoiserie reflects European artistic interpretations of Chinese and East Asian artistic traditions, gaining immense popularity during the 17th and 18th centuries through trade with East Asia.

Japanning is a European imitation of East Asian lacquerwork, typically involving multiple layers of varnish applied to a wooden carcase, cured, and hand-decorated with raised or flat gilt motifs.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit age-related crackling in the lacquer, hand-carved secondary woods consistent with the period, traditional dovetail joinery, and hand-applied gilt work rather than modern printing.

This type of statement furniture works effectively as a focal point against neutral walls, paired with minimalist modern furnishings to allow the intricate hand-painted details to stand out without visual clutter.

Lacquered and japanned surfaces should be kept out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, dusted gently with a dry microfibre cloth, and maintained in stable humidity conditions to prevent timber movement.
