Chinoiserie Furnishing Fabric IV Pillow

This furnishing fabric is a product of the eighteenth-century European fashion for chinoiserie, a decorative style built from imagined visions of China rather than direct study of Chinese art. Woven or printed with sweeping, large-scale motifs, textiles like this one dressed the chairs, sofas, and walls of elegant interiors across France and England. The style remained fashionable for generations, produced by manufactories such as Oberkampf's at Jouy-en-Josas well into the nineteenth century.

Jacquard-woven both sides in soft, durable yarn; insert included.
