The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Chinoiserie furniture refers to European-made pieces decorated with decorative designs influenced by traditional East Asian art, motifs, and lacquer techniques. Popular from the eighteenth century through the early twentieth century, these items frequently feature hand-painted landscapes, pagodas, and figures framed by raised gilding or black lacquer work.

These pieces were typically crafted using dense hardwoods such as mahogany or walnut, which provided a stable substrate for multi-layered lacquer or japanning. Decorators applied gesso to build low-relief details, followed by hand-painted gold leaf, metallic powders, and polychrome pigments before finishing with protective varnish.

Authentic Maples & Co furniture generally displays high-grade cabinetmaking features, including dovetail drawer joints, solid timber backings, and stamped brass hardware. Look for maker marks such as engraved brass plaques, drawer stamps, or paper makers labels bearing the Maples & Co London address.

A complete suite can serve as a focal point against neutral walls, allowing the gilded detailing and natural timber tones to stand out. Integrating plain linen textiles and contemporary lighting balances the ornate lacquer work, creating a tailored synthesis of classical and modern aesthetics.

Lacquered surfaces should be dusted regularly with a dry, lint-free microfibre cloth and kept away from direct sunlight or radiator heat sources. Avoid commercial chemical sprays and excess water, relying instead on specialized beeswax polishes applied sparingly to unlacquered wood elements.
