FAQs

Chinoiserie refers to a European decorative style originating in the seventeenth century that incorporates Chinese-inspired motifs, landscapes, figures, and traditional lacquering techniques.

Cabinets from this era were constructed with solid timber frames finished in layers of lacquered varnish, detailed with hand-painted polychrome decoration and gilded highlights.

Authentic pieces exhibit fine hand-painted brushwork, natural surface crazing to the lacquer, period-appropriate glass panels, and traditional cabinet joinery.

Position the cabinet against a neutral or dark backdrop to highlight the gilded detailing, utilizing the glazed sections to organize curated glassware or ceramics.

Keep the cabinet away from direct sunlight and radiators, dusting gently with a soft microfibre cloth while avoiding chemical sprays or water.
