Chinoiserie is a glorious aesthetic porridge that has been influencing European and American classic interiors for centuries. By the late 1700s century, every well-appointed home was tickled up with some form of Chinoiserie ornament (from the French Chinois/Chinese). One whole room was sometimes devoted to Asian theatrics — the Chinese room or the Chinese gallery. Chinoiserie is still a major player in fabric and wall-covering design today and forms part of the Global trend in things exotic and "other". Lanterns, pottery stools, ginger jars, prints, flatware and more — once you look for it, you’ll find the look everywhere from the high street to designer studios and high profile antique auctions.
