Description: As you can see in the pictures there is wear and several areas of black that has chipped off. But that happens with age. This has been in my family for over 100 years. It has been used for different applications around my grandparents, my mother's and my house of the lifetime with us. Im 66 and just need to download many of the fine items from the family. Just not enough space for it all. Here is a bit of history related to the style. Chinoiserie is a European Interpretation of Asian art and design that was inspired by China, Japan, and other Asian countriesin the 17th and 18th centuries.The term comes from the French word chinois, which means "Chinese", but the style was influenced by a wider region often called the Far East, which included Korea, South-East Asia, India, and Persia. Chinoiserie was more about the designer's imagination than accurately portraying Asian motifs.The designs were tailored to the taste of wealthy Europeans and differed significantly from authentic East Asian design.Chinoiserie was used in many art forms, including fine art, interior design, architecture, and music.Some major motifs include foo dogs, which are lions that traditionally stand guard outside palaces and temples. Chinoiserie was especially prevalent in Britain from 1750 to 1765.For example, it contributed to the opulence of Louis XIV's palace at Versailles, and the French Royal Beauvais Tapestry Manufactory created a series of tapestries depicting scenes from the life of a Chinese emperor between 1685 and 1690.
