Decorative arts — 18th century
Hand-painted Chinoiserie wallpaper
This Chinese hand-painted wallpaper originally came from Clarence House in Brockwell Park, south east London. This panel is decorated with bamboo, tropical birds and flowers. Wallpaper of this kind did not have a repeating pattern. Instead, several panels were joined together to create a panoramic landscape. During the 18th century, wealthy people often furnished rooms in the chinoiserie style, filling them with lacquer furniture and porcelain ornaments.
