About the Item
Five-panel jointed screen; made of poplar entirely lacquered in black, it is decorated with Chinoise-like painted motifs: dragons, monkeys, birds, and reserves depicting scenes of Chinese life, juggling and fighting. Features gilded leaf frames decorating the cymatium and lower part. Revisited by designer Pietro Russo with Dedar fabric.
Already widely used at the end of the perceding century, chinoiserie became truly popular in the nineteenth century, appreciated and in demand by the major European courts. References to China and the Orient in general were able to invoke an exoticism that was as qppereized on an aesthetic level as it was on a cultural level.
Indeed, the calligraphy of the chinoiserie drawings, the heterongeneous bestiary (both real and fantastic), and the scenes of life, offered endless decorative solutions for small objects and entire walls, creating interesting sccenographic effects in the layout of the large rooms. Among the main proponents of chinoiserie was King George IV, who, with the construction of the Royal Pavilion in Brighton as a seaside pleasure palace, decided to fit out some of the rooms in precisely this style. In particular, the Banqueting Room, Long Gallery, and Music Room feature oriental-style furniture, chandeliers, and objects such as china, as well as carpeting and stained glass.
The walls of the room devoted to music, were decorated with scenes of Chinese life, in gold on a red background, created by Frederick Crace and Henry Lambelet and taken from William Alexander's The Customs of China (1805). In the Royal Pavilion, Chinese export hand-painted furniture, objects and wallpapers coexist with others made in England, with an oriental flavor mediated by the Western gaze and fashions. There are numerous examples of chinoiserie in Italian courts as well, a style beloved in particular by the Savoy family, who chose it to set up some of the rooms at Stupinigi and Racconigi.
Another example can be found can be found can be found in the Piedmontese wallpaper room at the Quirinal Palace in Rome.
