What is the definition of Chinoiserie?
Have you ever heard someone mention the term Chinoiserie and wondered what on earth it meant? Well, now you have to wonder no longer – we will define Chinoiserie for you! Here is the latest addition to our Decorating Dictionary…
Chinoiserie: is a French term (meaning “Chinese-esque”) referring to a style in art and decoration reflecting Chinese designs or motifs. A popular style of decoration in Europe since the mid-to-late 1600s, Chinese influences were often mixed in with the more European Rococo style. The Style often features decorative Chinese latticework, lacquer and gold, bamboo, and wallpaper & ceramics featuring orient-inspired toiles, Chinese landscapes and foliage.
