Museum Story
All the rage in 17th and 18th century Europe, chinoiserie was a European interpretation of Chinese décor—especially multicolor AND blue and white porcelains. Still popular today, our classic chinoiserie collection celebrates the enduring appeal of this beautiful style, fine examples of which are curated by our National Museum of American History and our Cooper-Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum.
