Chinese Export Furniture

CHINESE EXPORT STYLE

Expanded trade between Europe and East Asia, starting in the 16th century, led to a booming market for exported goods, particularly furniture. This was bolstered by the establishment of the Dutch and English East India Companies at the beginning of the 17th century. From folding screens and chairs to lacquer tables and silver, Chinese Export furniture was in demand and regularly copied and imitated, leading to styles like chinoiserie and Chinese Chippendale.

The expansion of exporting that had strengthened the arts during the Ming dynasty continued into the Qing dynasty era — Chinese designers made many furniture pieces specifically for export, resulting in distinctive designs that mixed traditional techniques with forms appealing to foreign buyers. For instance, cabinetmakers in Canton (modern-day Guangzhou) were prolific in crafting hardwood furniture for export in European styles that involved the expert joinery techniques of Chinese furniture. Designs for Chinese Export porcelain, cabinets, decorative objects and other furniture were often more ornately adorned than they would be for a local audience, such as with mother-of-pearl overlays or surfaces featuring lavish pictorial scenes or gold on black motifs. Some were even commissioned by wealthy European families to be adorned with their coat of arms.

Because lacquer furniture was especially prized, and the resin used to create it was difficult to import as it would harden during the long voyage, artisans in China and Japan exported numerous lacquer pieces. Long before lacquer made its way to Japan, the Chinese treated the material differently. They used it to create smooth, glossy surfaces, but also for carving, an art that began in the 12th century and is exclusively Chinese. These pieces are called cinnabar lacquer after the powdered mercury sulfide (cinnabar) employed to produce their characteristic red hue. A popular form for export was a compact cabinet with drawers, usually displayed on a small table. Undecorated furniture built in Europe was also shipped to China to be lacquered. The international exchange of design would influence furniture into the 19th century and later, informing styles such as Art Deco and Art Nouveau.

Chinese Famille Rose Fish Bowl with Peach Banquet, c. 1900
Chinese Famille Rose Fish Bowl with Peach Banquet, c. 1900

Chinese Famille Rose Fish Bowl with Peach Banquet, c. 1900

Located in Chicago, IL

Every inch of this fantastic Chinese fish bowl is adorned with hand-painted overglaze enamels, a manner of porcelain decorating known as famille rose. Rendered in pastel shades and gilded accents, famille rose porcelain was popular in the late Qing dynasty (1648-1911) as an export style that melded the technical virtuosity of imperial porcelain with fanciful color palettes that met Western tastes. Beautifully painted with intricate detail and soft shading, the enameled fish bowl depicts the Eight Immortals of Taoist mythology journeying to attend the peach banquet of the Queen Mother of the West. Considered the goddess of longevity, this heavenly deity holds a banquet every 6,000 years to share her peaches of immortality, a myth popularized in the 16th-century novel Journey to the West. The Eight Immortals each ride a mythical beast towards the Queen's mountain palace, surrounded by cranes and spotted deer for further blessings of longevity. The interior of the bowl is decorated as well, enameled with goldfish and underwater flora. Today, we love using a bowl of this scale as an indoor fish pond...
