Description

In Chinoiserie: Commerce and Critical Ornament in Eighteenth-Century Britain, Stacey Sloboda provides a critical reassessment of a style often dismissed as merely pretty or ornamental. Part of the Studies in Design and Material Culture series, this book moves beyond viewing chinoiserie as a trivial trend. Instead, it explores how the style acted as a commentator on eighteenth-century global consumer culture. Through an object-focused approach, the text examines significant examples of British and Chinese design. By analyzing ceramics, wallpaper, furniture, and garden architecture, Sloboda demonstrates how the ornamental language of chinoiserie functioned within the wider economic and social landscape. This work is an essential resource for those studying the history of design, material culture, and the complex relationship between British and Chinese aesthetics during this period.
