CHINOISERIE COLLECTION - 1986
Chinoiserie. The very word evokes the spirit of this celebrated design stye. It had its inspiration in China, but its fulfillment was purely 18th Century European where imperial castles and great houses were decorated in Chinoiserie.
It was a favourite motif in "pleasure palaces" the lighthearted resort homes of royalty such as the Brighton Pavilion.
Among Chinoiserie museum-quality pieces, you can see great works of art based on classical forms. Representations of the ginger jar and glorious Chinese dragon patterns were exquisitely modeled by craftsmen of Dresden, Meissen and Sevres. Yet many of its most memorable examples are frivolous amusements - fantastic menageries, figures of animals such as elephants and foxhounds which the sculptors had never seen and what-not stands to display them on.
As a decorating style Chinoiserie is peerless. It is equally at home with traditional English country interiors and in the sleekest modern decor. It is reflected in the most beautiful chintz fabrics and in classic carpeting designs.
Elizabeth Arden offers the beauty of Chinsoiserie for the home in its collection of fine procelain limited editions for Christmas 1986.
