Chinoiserie

The chinoiserie style arose from a particular fondness for pagodas, and ceramics, that had been followed in China for centuries. It has been a Western style that's been influenced by Eastern design. In the early days, relatively few people of European nations had ever witnessed a Chinese person, so the imaginative power of people took control and when paired with a layer of elegance, chinoiserie became a figure that blended flirting and fantasy. King Louis the fifteenth’s mistress Madame de Pompadour’s place at Bellevue was then decorated with this new and enchanting style of decoration. This placed an immediate emphasis on chinoiserie as a style of luxury and refinement. Europeans were captivated by Asian ways of life in the 1600s and 1700s. They enjoyed replicating Asian themes in western culture.
