FAQs

Chinoiserie is a European decorative style that reflects Chinese artistic influences, gaining significant popularity in the 17th and 18th centuries during periods of extensive trade with East Asia.

These pieces typically feature solid hardwood frames, hand-woven cane panels for the seat and back, and intricate layers of gesso, paint, and hand-applied lacquer or gilding.

Authentic pieces often show characteristic hand-painted motifs, period-appropriate joinery such as mortise and tenon, and natural ageing like craquelure in the lacquer and wear on the cane.

This type of seating functions well as a statement accent piece in a modern living room or study, contrasting clean modern lines with ornate historical details.

Keep the furniture away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent the wood and lacquer from cracking, and gently dust the cane and painted surfaces with a soft, dry cloth.
