Faux Bamboo, Shagreen, Lacquer and Chinoiserie Furniture and
Accessories
Chinoiserie is a French term that refers
to Chinese lacquered designs. During the seventeenth century a love of all things
Oriental swept over Europe. Lacquer furniture was the height of sophisticated design.
Lacquer furniture from China was introduced as early as 1613 in England, favored
by Louis XIV and made even more popular in France by Madame de Pompadour during
the reign of Louis XV. Highly decorated pieces included motifs such as exotic birds
and flowers, pagodas and monkeys. Go to: Chinoiserie,

Chinese Chippendale or Modern Ming originated about
1750 when Thomas Chippendale added a hint of Asia giving his pieces fretwork, pagoda
crowns, bracket feet, bamboo, dragons or lions.

Early east Asian shagreen was used on sword hilts and luxury book
bindings, pocketbooks and boxes. In the 17th and 18th Centuries, the term began
to be used for sharkskin or the skin of a rayfish. Jean-Claude Galluchat, a master
leather worker in the court of Louis XV, made it popular among the aristocracy.

Chinoiserie adds a highly decorative finish to any piece that makes
it stand out in a room. A single piece can make a dramatic difference.
Pieces imported directly from the Orient were extremely limited.
To suit European tastes, European craftsmen refashioned imports to decorate western
goods, or sent European furniture to the Far East to be decorated. Soon they were
working to replicate these pieces. True lacquer comes from the sap of a tree not
found in the West, so they had to invent finishes that would mimic this look. In
England this became known as "Japan work" or "japanning." Designs most often have
a Chinese look, but can also be Japanese or Indian. In some cases, an antique combines
real Chinese lacquer and English japanning. China is considered to be the birthplace
of lacquer work, but Japan was the premier producer typically featuring gold lacquer
on a black lacquer ground.
