Chinoiserie

Chinoiserie is a style of art and design that was popular in Europe in the 1700s and 1800s. The style includes bright colors, curved lines and figures, and Chinese motifs like dragons and pagodas. It also features exotic plants and animals. The idea behind it was to create a dreamy and fantastical world, where European and Chinese cultures were blended together.
