A Chinese Tea Party Furnishing Fabric Tapestry Blanket

This furnishing fabric depicts a chinoiserie 'tea party,' a favorite invented scene in which European designers imagined elegant figures in fanciful dress gathered beneath parasols and pagoda roofs to take tea. The subject played on Europe's growing taste for tea drinking itself, imported from China and reimagined here as a decorative fantasy rather than an observed custom. Large-scale patterns like this covered furniture and walls in the chinoiserie-fashioned rooms of eighteenth-century Europe.
Jacquard-woven as a soft, double-sided tapestry throw with fringed edges — a warm layer for the sofa or bed.

It has completely changed how the dining room feels. My daughter recognized A Chinese Tea from her art class and was thrilled.
This went well past what I expected…
The colors are richer in person than they look on a screen. It came with a handwritten thank you that made the whole thing feel personal. It has made every other thing in that room look better by association. It is the best thing in the reading nook now.
This is exactly what I was looking for, and I looked for a long time. I bought this for A Chinese Tea and got far more than I paid for… ⭐
The reproduction quality is the best I have seen anywhere near this price. It brings out parts of A Chinese Tea I have never seen reproduced this well.
