The East India Company started trading in the 17th century. At the beginning of the 18th century, there was an oriental fever in Europe. European artists went to various Eastern countries and began to draw watercolor paintings and publish hand-painted color etching books. Through these, Europeans came into contact with Oriental man-made buildings, animals, plants and landscapes for the first time. Around 1700, the first wallpaper was bought back from China by the East India Company, and soon became famous as "Indian" paper. From that time until the early 19th century, most European royalty created their own interior decoration houses to collect Far Eastern artifacts brought back from the East India Company and other businessmen and adventurers. These wonderful wallpapers are still preserved in the palaces of Drottningholm, the Brighton Pavilion, sans Souci, Schloss w? Rlitz, Charlottenburg and oranienbaum. Around 1760, Thomas Chippendale purchased Chinese wallpaper for nostell Priory in northern England as interior decoration.
Since the 17th century, western design has advocated the exotic Oriental decorative art style, looking for inspiration from Oriental flowers, bamboo, peacock window lattice and other patterns. "Chinoiserie" means "Chinese" and "Chinese" in French. It refers to a very popular artistic style at that time - "Chinese style". It describes the new design style made by British designers and craftsmen who widely adopt Chinese propositions and integrate western culture. At that time, Europeans were as obsessed with "Chinese style" goods as the Chinese were with Paris fashion and Swiss watches.
The Chinoiserie effect continues. Its style reflects the European imagination of distant China in the 18th and 19th centuries. It was very popular in the Ming Dynasty and was loved by the royal family. Buckingham Palace and the White House have its shadow.
