Chinese Wallpaper in National Trust Houses
AuthordeBruin, Emile; Bush, Andrew & Clifford, HelenDescriptionWhen trade between Asia and Europe grew in the 17th century, Europeans developed a taste for Chinese art and design. By the mid-18th century, Chinese wallpapers had become a highly fashionable ingredient of British country house interiors. Eighteen historic houses in our care contain examples of Chinese wallcoverings. They include woodblock-printed wallpaper, collages of Chinese prints and paintings, and fully hand-painted wallpaper. Some of the historic woodblock prints used in these wallpapers now only survive in European houses, even though they were originally made for the Chinese market.Call NumberNK3400PublisherISBN9780707804286Patty Cannon, Woman of Mystery
