FAQs

Chinoiserie is the European imitation and interpretation of Chinese and East Asian artistic traditions, which reached peak popularity in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries.

These pieces typically feature a wooden carcase built from pine or oak, finished with successive layers of varnish or lacquer, and decorated with raised metallic powders or hand-painted motifs.

Authentication involves examining the wood species, hand-cut joinery, the composition of the lacquer layers, and signs of natural oxidisation and wear consistent with age.

Positioning the piece as a focal point in a neutral room allows the intricate painted details and dark finish to stand out against modern furnishings.

Keep the item away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity levels, and clean only with a soft, dry cloth without chemical polishes.
