In a critical reassessment of chinoiserie, a style both praised and derided for its triviality, prettiness and ornamental excesses, Stacey Sloboda argues that chinoiserie was no mute participant in eighteenthcentury global consumer culture, but was instead a critical commentator on that culture. Analysing ceramics, wallpaper, furniture, garden architecture and other significant examples of British and Chinese design, this book takes an objectfocused approach to studying the cultural phenomenon of the Chinese taste in eighteenthcentury Britain. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the critical history of design and the decorative arts in the period, and students and scholars of art history, material culture, eighteenthcentury studies and British history will find a novel approach to studying the decorative arts and a forceful argument for their critical capacities.
