FAQs

Chinoiserie is a European decorative style originating in the 17th and 18th centuries that reflects Chinese artistic influences, characterised by ornate lacquered finishes and hand-painted motifs.

These cabinets are typically constructed from dense hardwoods like pine, oak, or exotic timbers, finished with multiple layers of resin-based lacquer and intricate gold leaf or pigment detailing.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit natural craquelure in the lacquer surface, hand-applied gold leaf with subtle variations, traditional joinery techniques, and signs of age-related wear beneath the protective coats.

Such a statement piece serves as a focal point in a neutral or minimalist room, allowing the intricate painted details and rich colours to stand out without visual competition.

Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations to prevent cracking, and clean only with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding chemical polishes.
