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,

The history of Lacquer in China goes back thousands of years. Pieces
began being exported to Europe in the mid-16th century. These styles have the traditional
gloss and beauty but have been updated with sleek modern designs.

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.

Peking Cocktail Table |
Doris Chair |
Classic Chinoiserie with a modern twist. The Ming-style
base of our Peking Cocktail Table is made from brushed brass that balances

control storage. |
Inspired by '40s Chinoiserie with a nod to Park Avenue,
our Doris Chair is the primary punch that refreshes any room. The open arm
detail and Ming-inspired base adds sculptural flair, but it's still a comfy
perch for reading. Upholstered in bold blue velvet with a patterned trim
and bright white lacquer base for added impact. Pop a pair in your parlor
or add a chic seat to the corner of your boudoir. |

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.
