History of Chinoiserie

The East India companies started trading in the 17th century and by the beginning of the 18th century Europe was fascinated by all things from the orient. European artists started to go to the Orient and paint watercolours and publish books of hand-coloured aquatints, which enabled people to see for the first time the man-made structures as well as the flora and fauna and landscapes of the East. Around 1700 the first wallpapers were bought back from China by the East India Company and soon became known as 'India' papers.

Between then and the early 19th century most of the crowned heads of Europe had created their own Chinese interiors to house the collections of Far Eastern artefacts brought back by the East India Company and other traders and adventurers. Drottningholm, The Brighton Pavilion, Charlottenburg and Oranienbaum are some of the palaces where you can still see these wonderful papers.

we is continuing this tradition of using Chinoiserie that reached its height around 1760 when Thomas Chippendale purchased Chinese wallpapers for the interior of Nostell Priory in the North of England.

Using the same techniques as in the 18th Century, we is uniquely placed to create the highest quality wallpapers, enabling you to create your very own exotic Oriental interior. We are continually adapting and colouring our bird and flower designs to fit all kinds of surroundings.

POLL: Paint or Wallpaper?

The funny thing is that nothing dates faster than the latest trends! Whether it's the recent vogue for Pistachio green, Orange, or neutral greys or taupe colours or trendy wallpapers, such as the ubiqitous 'Woods'. Paint is the safest and easiest option for those without confidence or design knowledge. Paint does bring out the architectural quality and details (that why until recently architects have rejected them on the whole). But I really disagree with those that say paint lasts longer than papers. Of course it depends on if it's used in high traffic areas but wallpapers in some houses have lasted well over a century! A choice of wallpaper show a certain statement of confidence and with current Site specific, carefully designed Digital papers or Artisan designed, hand crafted or printed wallpaper you are installing a work of art to be enjoyed for a considerable time.

Hello Lucy8i8, My first thoughts is artwork. This is how I see your room: Thought 1: A large darkish brown wooden framed poster of a musical subject (whatever form that may take) that has splashes or flecks of white, cream and dark brown in it, if possible. If it has more colours, the better. To hang over the fireplace harmonising the colours of the room and the artwork as one. The larger, the better. Thought 2: A wallpaper mural just for the chimney breast wall. A design or photograph that can be whatever you're drawn to that makes you feel part of the image, not just 'looking' at an image. Again, colours are key, but incorporating some primary and secondary colours of the room if possible. Thought 3: If you have a particular subject that's meaningful to you, source artwork incorporating that subject, it will be more sentimental to you. I specialise in creating bespoke artwork to compliment (or contrast) a rooms decor and furnishings. If you like the suggestions, run with it! If you need to find an image or garner ideas of what would look good on your walls, please visit my website for a little more creative thinking, especially the BESPOKE DESIGNS section: http://www.thejonescollection.gallery If you would like to have something specifically created for your room, get in contact and we can develop any ideas further together. All the best with whatever you decide to do.

I am interested in this posting as our stair carpet is coming up for a change and I have started to looking at runners. I like you choice of runner. From the photos it looks like a very taught fit of the runner. Someone else would need to comment if this is correct or not.
