Edition DescriptionReprint
SynopsisFrom the late 1700s, an increasing number of British, American and continental European sailing ships, From the late 1700s, an increasing number of British, American and continental European sailing ships brought back ship loads of exotic objects which found a ready market in America and Europe. The insatiable interest in the Orient resulted in a large range of painters depicting everyday life in China, as well as portraits of both Chinese and Westerners. Among other objects brought back were furniture, silver, silk embroideries, lacquerware, clay figures, fans and wallpaper. New research has resulted in a detailed study in which wrong attributions are corrected and, in some areas, such as furniture, our knowledge revolutionised. This is a fascinating account of Chinese artists and craftsmen and their techniques, and of the way of life encountered by Westerners in this most mysterious of trading countries. An admirable introduction which is both detailed and scholarly - World of Interiors

A peerless reference on the works of this time period
It is unlikely that any work will supersede this book's scholarship. For example, it's the ONLY book I found that mentioned the fact that the silver content of sycee may be far from accurate, having been arbitrarily marked more often than not.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
