Rare 19th Century Chinoiserie Hand-Painted Panels Circa 1820
Located in Richmond, London
A rare and superbly decorative set of four Chinoiserie wallpaper panels, exquisitely hand-painted with exotic birds and butterflies in the garden, on a pale pink/peach background. Each panel is beautifully framed in a modern simulated bamboo frame.
Chinese, Canton, Qing dynasty, early 19th century.
Why we like them
The exquisite quality of decoration and the miraculous state of preservation for a decorative artwork on paper make these panels a truly rare find. The subtlety of colours, bold yet not garish, lend a 'noble' look to the piece.
History
Such luxurious items were popular in England during the height of fashion for oriental exoticism, called chinoiserie in Europe.
The young Prince of Wales (future King George IV) was often described as having a wildly extravagant taste in decorating his palaces.

Having been presented a gift of Chinese wallpaper, he ordered a Chinese Gallery to display the new paper. The 162-foot long room was contrived of painted glass decorated with flowers, insects, fruit and birds. The Prince's desire for additional structures in the Oriental manner resulted in commissioning the fashionable architect John Nash and the designer Frederick Crace...
