FAQs

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

Traditional pieces typically utilise solid hardwoods treated with multiple layers of dark lacquer or japanning, complemented by hand-painted gilt details and intricate relief motifs.

Authenticity is determined by examining the wood aging, the crackquelure or wear patterns within the lacquer, hand-applied gilt work, and traditional construction joinery appropriate to the period.

These statement pieces work effectively as standalone accent seating in minimalist or eclectic spaces, allowing their intricate painted details and dark finishes to serve as focal points.

Maintain pieces by keeping them out of direct sunlight to prevent lacquer fading, dusting gently with a soft dry cloth, and avoiding chemical polishes or excessive moisture.
