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.

Vintage Green-glaze Majolica Lotus Pattern Pottery Plates

Vintage Green-glaze Majolica Lotus Pattern Pottery Plates

Located in Downingtown, PA

"Vivid Verdure": Set of 11 Vintage Green Majolica "Lotus" Plates, by The Haldon Group Dated 1983 A vibrant and collectible set of eleven vintage majolica-style pottery plates, produced by The Haldon Group in 1983. Modeled with a striking, high-relief "Lotus" pattern, these plates are a superb example of the late 20th-century revival of Victorian naturalism. Each plate is entirely covered in a rich, emerald green glaze that pools beautifully in the recesses of the molding, creating depth and highlighting the intricate details. The design features a central lotus flower surrounded by large, overlapping ribbed leaves with textured veins and curling stems. The Haldon Group was renowned in the 1980s for their high-quality decorative ceramics that paid homage to antique English and French faience, often rivaling the originals in modeling sharpness. Markings: Printed Mark: The reverse bears the distinctive black logo of The Haldon Group (a stylized "H") and the copyright date ©1983. Condition: Excellent vintage condition- The green glaze remains glossy and bright. No chips or cracks observed. Measurements: Diameter: 8 1/2 inches (21.6 cm) Historical Context: Founded in the late 20th century, The Haldon Group became famous for their "majolica" style wares, particularly their teapots and service ware. Their "Lotus" and "Cabbage" lines are highly sought after today by "Grandmillennial" style collectors who mix them with antique Dodie Thayer or Wedgwood green glazed...
