AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Height 75 cm, width 72.5 cm, depth 20 cm
Unfortunately to be restored with missing pieces of red lacquer...
The red-lacquered furniture with chinoiserie decorations became very popular in Europe, especially in the eighteenth century (Settecento).
Origins: The lacquer technique originated in East Asia, and Oriental lacquered objects began arriving in Europe as early as the seventeenth century (Seicento).
Diffusion: It was in the eighteenth century that demand for these exotic items grew enormously, leading European artisans to imitate the costly and rare Chinese lacquers.
Style: The term "cineserie" (from the French chinoiserie) refers to a European artistic style, popular from the eighteenth century, which used fanciful and idealized images of China. This style was particularly fashionable during the Rococo period, at the court of Louis XV in France and in England with King George IV.
