About the Item

A highly decorative rare black Chinoiserie door dating to circa 1750, reclaimed from the London home of the great painter William Hogarth. With its 6 panels to one side and angular proportions, this impressive Japanned mahogany door looks as at home in a period townhouse as it does a more modern setting. The black gloss finish is finely hand painted with a range of Chinoiserie inspired motifs and oriental scenes including figures, buildings and trees. A door of this design, size and condition is extremely rare and quite the find for those looking to add a unique and impressive piece into their home. Chinoiserie Chinoiserie, from the French ‘Chinois’ meaning Chinese, was a style inspired by art and design from China, Japan, and other Asian countries in the 18th century. It largely relied on craftsmanship and style rather than accurate portrayals of oriental motifs. Chinoiseries height in Britain dated from 1750 to 1765.
