Nominated for the 2019 Karel van Mander prize Chinese wallpaper has
been an important element of western interior decoration for three
hundred years. As trade between Europe and China flourished in the
seventeenth century, Europeans developed a strong taste for Chinese
art and design. The stunningly beautiful wall coverings now known
as 'Chinese wallpaper' were developed by Chinese painting workshops
in response to western demand. In spite of their spectacular
beauty, Chinese wallpapers have not been studied in any depth until
relatively recently. This book provides an overview of some of the
most significant Chinese wallpapers surviving in the British Isles.
Sumptuously illustrated, it shows how these wallpapers became a
staple ingredient of high-end interiors while always retaining a
touch of the exotic.
