Piece 1760 - 1770

"Piece" is a 1760 - 1770 wallpaper by Bromley Hall that is a prime example of Chinoiserie, a style that romanticized and imagined Asian, particularly Chinese, aesthetics. It features a repeating pattern of stylized blue figures, pagodas, and bridges against a pale yellow background. This 18th-century design exemplifies the popularity of Chinese-inspired patterns in European interior design. The wallpaper is on view at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
