FAQs

Chinoiserie is the European interpretation and imitation of Chinese and East Asian artistic traditions, particularly prominent in furniture, textiles, and decorative items during the 18th and 19th centuries, characterised by whimsical scenes of figures, flora, and fauna.

These screens typically feature a wooden frame housing hand-embroidered silk or wool needlework panels, often mounted with metal hinges that allow the panels to fold in multiple directions.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-stitched needlework using natural fibres with consistent age-related patina, traditional joinery in the wooden framework, and period-appropriate hardware such as wrought iron or brass hinges.

An antique screen can be positioned to divide an open-plan living space, used as a textural backdrop behind seating arrangements, or placed against a neutral wall to act as a large-scale textile artwork.

Preserve the fabric by keeping it out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, gently dusting with a soft brush attachment on a low-suction vacuum, and maintaining stable indoor humidity levels to protect the organic fibres and wooden structure.
