"The styles called chinoiserie were the European dream of the Orient, an escapist style of decoration that flourished in the courts and houses of seventeenth and eighteenth century Europe. It is reflected in the Royal Pavilion in Brighton, England; the splendor of Versailles, and the exotic lacquered cabinets and ceramics of England, Holland and France. This book is divided into two parts, the first part is an account of the meeting of East and West, summarizing the major events. The second part deals with the visual arts; what was imported, how it affected occidental taste and stimulated new styles." $37.00USD
