Lot 611 | A Rare Cabinet with chinoiserie lacquer painting on a yellow coloured background.
Dutch. 18th cent. Wood, polychrome lacquer painting on yellow coloured ground. 223 x 137 x 34 cm. Painting chipped, partially rest. Double-door curved base on 4 ball feet. Double-door, glazed top with volute crowning. Richly decorated on all sides with polychrome lacquer painting on a yellow coloured background: Chinese people in landscape and architectural brochures, flowers and ornamental decoration. - In the late 17th and 18th centuries, the fascination with Asian culture found its way into the arts as a result of growing overseas trade. Precious luxury objects from Asia, such as silk, porcelain and furniture, were in great demand in Europe because of their exquisite beauty and high quality. This enthusiasm led to imitation in Europe in the fields of art, applied arts and architecture. The production of Asian-style lacquered furniture, richly decorated with Chinese motifs, was particularly popular. Chinoiserie design was characterised by lavish ornamentation, stylised nature and themes that Europeans considered as typical of Chinese culture. -
