A great respect for Asian art and culture was developed amongst Europeans during this period, which led to Europeans creating their own version of these East Asian designs. The ornamental rococo style of Europe was a beautiful match for the fancy designs of chinoiserie. This style of furniture gained so much popularity that it wasn’t long before it was also gracing the palaces of King Louis XV and King George IV.
As well as decorative antique accessories, there were classic examples of decorative antique furniture in this style as well. Check out this quality English Chinoiserie Cupboard / Wardrobe that has recently arrived in our collection. Elegant in black with stunning rendition of the Chinoiserie designs, this wardrobe of elegant proportions from the early 20th century will sit beautifully even in contemporary décor styles.
