Extremely Rare Pair of 19th Century Chinoiserie Pagoda Vases, circa 1830

About the Item

An exceedingly rare pair of fabulous porcelain vases in the Chinoiserie style. France, early to mid-19th century. Why We Like It Ever fascinated by the exotic and unusual, we have always adored the Chinoiserie style. We absolutely love its flamboyant, elaborate, almost theatrical decoration, which perfectly captures the original spirit of Chinoiserie—a tale of the glorious Orient, colourful and brimming with exotic flowers, mythical creatures, and elegant figures engaged in refined pursuits. These vases are perfect for display on wall brackets or conversion into lamps, which can be arranged upon request. Design and Inspiration A playful mix of vivid colours, bold patterns, and quirky shapes—made possible by the complete freedom from traditional design rules—makes Chinoiserie one of the most original decorative styles of the 18th and 19th centuries. Its influence remains strong in interior decorating today. Although the British fascination with Chinoiserie was initially championed by influential designers like William Chambers and Thomas Chippendale in the late 18th century, the style remained popular well into the 19th century and spread across Europe. The present vases display unparalleled boldness of design, characteristic of early 19th-century fashions. Their elaborate sculptural handles and exquisitely hand-painted reserves, featuring Oriental figures, flowers, and exotic birds, make them truly exceptional. These museum-quality vases, fabulously decorative and possibly unique, could have adorned the world-famous Chinoiserie rooms of the Royal Pavilion at Brighton and now deserve a place in any distinguished collection.

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. As early as 1801, the Prince had been completely taken by Oriental tastes and began to expand his existing Brighton retreat. 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...
