How do I clean lacquered chinoiserie?

Dust surfaces gently with a soft, dry cloth to protect the delicate finish. Avoid using chemical cleaners, water, or abrasive materials that could damage the lacquer or gilt decoration. Keep pieces away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations to prevent the wood underneath from expanding and cracking the lacquer.

Where does chinoiserie fit in rooms?

These decorative items add a focal point to neutral or minimalist spaces through their bold colours and patterns. Use occasional tables and cabinets to introduce texture and historic contrast. Smaller pieces like mantel clocks and boxes sit comfortably on shelves, sideboards, or desks.

How are different decades identified?

Edwardian and 1910s items often lean towards heavier ebonised woods and pressed brass, while 1920s and 1930s pieces frequently showcase brighter red lacquers and simpler silhouettes. Construction methods and hardware also offer clues to the approximate age of the object.
