A collection of prints by Jean Pillement, published in 1767. Pillement was one of the most important artists of Chinoiserie, a style preferred by the French court that used oriental motifs as a starting place for laconic landscapes and fantastic architectures that floated on clouds of opium smoke. Pillement was a prolific artist who worked all over Europe, including England, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Austria, and of course France, where he painted for Marie Antoinette in the Petit Trianon. Taken from one of six Pillement books available from the French National History of Art website inha.divvalib.net/collection/ Sorry about low resolution- that's the way they uploaded them on their site.

hand-made silk and wool area rugs from America's most dynamic home fashions designer
This week, I’m introducing the marvelous Russian interior designer, Kirill Istomin. He worked with Parish-Hadley, and you’ll see that Kirill has both the architectural astuteness of Mr. Hadley, and the whimsical, playful style of Mrs. Parish. We visit a charming royal pavilion with a history dating back to 1820. It’s in a royal park near St. Petersburg and now displays delightful interiors Kirill recently designed. The imperial Russian obsession with Chinoiserie has a fascinating history and many plot twists, not to mention destruction and a phoenix-like new beginning. We’re examining Russian Chinoiserie as well. Come with me for a chat with Kirill Istomin about this project. And I have expert information on the Russian obsession with Chinoiserie, from my great friend, Olga Bychek, the top culture and architecture and design guide in St. Petersburg. I was visiting the Catherine Palace in St. Petersburg a few years ago with Olga and we first saw the Chinese Village at Tsarskoe Selo, as we walked in Alexander Park. We walked across the newly restored Chinese bridge, and we wondered about the pavilions in the park, which seemed at the time to be deserted. Now we know. They were restored, after many years of neglect, by patrons of Russian architecture and history. One pavilion, a weekend retreat, is in the very accomplished hands of Kirill Istomin. Kirill Istomin, who studied design at Parsons and worked in New York, is one of the top designers in Russia. He has offices in New York and Moscow. If you live in Moscow or St. Petersburg, and are involved in the design, architecture, art, and style worlds there, you would be very familiar with the polished and accomplished interior design by Kirill. He seems to be in every issue of AD Russia and Elle Décoration Russia. He has clients in New York, Kazakhstan, Paris, London, and Portofino and the San Francisco area. A Conversation with Kirill Istomin — Superb Russian Style: For the Love of Chinoiserie DDS: Kirill, I am so happy to be publishing your Chinoiserie-inspired interiors. I am fascinated that in the late eighteenth century, Russian royalty was crazy for Chinese Imperial architecture and art and porcelains. They avidly studied books on the style. KI: I am thrilled to have my project featured on The Style Saloniste. Thank you for having me! Starting from the second quarter of the 18th century Russian royals and aristocracy were fascinated by European fashion of Chinoiserie. The Imperial courts of China were considered to have the ultimate taste and refinement. Russian kings and emperors were particularly influenced by French and Prussian courts. As you know, Catherine the Great was born a German princess herself, so it's was very natural she was very interested in European architecture and decor. At the early years of her reign, Chinoiserie vogue was at its peak. A kind of mania. Embroidered silk textiles, paintings, lacquerwork, fantasy pavilions, porcelains, temples, bridges, statuary, figures, doors, carving, ornament-- her architects worked with them. DDS: I have traveled in St. Petersburg extensively, and have seen that exotic cluster of ‘Chinese Village’ pavilions in the Alexander Park. We wondered who was living there now. It’s your client—with your fantasy interiors. KI: My clients helped to restore the Chinese Village at Tzarskoe Selo after it was ruined during WW II. The village was originally commissioned by Catherine the Great as a series of small guest cottages for visiting nobles. It consists of a Chinese pagoda in the middle and twelve small one-story cottages around - all done in a fairytale imaginary Chinese style. My clients stay in one of the twelve pavilions. Since it's mainly used as their weekend retreat its fancy decor never gets too tiring. DDS: With the new décor, you honor the original concept of this style—but you’ve brought it up to date with no heavy period feeling. KI: No records survived of how rooms looked like before the revolution. I had complete carte blanche from the client, every decorator's dream! The idea was to create fun and happy decor with some references to original historical architecture. Not the exact accurate copy of outside decor but something rather new being inspired by 18th whimsy. I wanted to keep same fairytale ambiance but make it modern and suitable for contemporary living. I hope the empress herself would have been pleased with the final decor if she lived today. DDS: The colors and fabrics create a light-hearted feeling to the rooms. KI: I love color and beautiful fabrics! It's a great tool to transform rooms quickly and doesn't require a big budget. I start working on the interior architecture and furniture layout together with choosing fabrics and textures. It all happens simultaneously. It's just my way of decorating spaces! Pavilion facades are beautifully decorated with Chinese ornaments and different signs based on archival documents which show how cottages looked back in the 18th c. All outside decor is painted so my clients have to freshen it up every two years from Russian winters. I used colors of the facade decor as inspiration for wallpapers and fabrics in the rooms. All walls except study are white which create a perfect background for fun looking antiques, Chinese export porcelain and colorful upholstery; there is nothing very expensive in the decor. We used lots of good-looking vintage and antiques pieces. While working on this project clients and I gathered a nice collection of antique Chinese export porcelain. Our pride is a fun set of antique Chinese teapots from he late Brooke Astor's estate. A set of five large Imari vases in the study is, however, museum quality. Besides this it’s all about good-looking colorful visuals rather than serious pieces. Custom upholstery adds comfort to rooms. DDS: The fabrics and colors refer to the gardens just outside the windows. KI: Yes, it's exactly what the initial idea was. A weekend retreat. Fun, easy and whimsical were the key words of the project! I think we succeeded in this. DDS: I love the Chinoiserie style of the baseboards and the doorways. It’s a witty counterpoint. KI: Painted ornament on baseboards and doorways in the living room was copied from the Chinese study at Peterhof Palace - another royal palace outside St. Petersburg built by Empress Elizabeth, Peter the Great's daughter. The original ornament in Elizabeth's study had touches of gold but here I decided to simplify it and use no gold but cheery colors instead. DDS: Kirill, thank you. It’s a great pleasure to chat and learn about this interesting period in Russian style history. Bravo to you. KI: Thank you very for expressing interest in my work. I hope readers will enjoy the images of the rooms. The photography was done by the great Fritz Von Der Schulenburg. It was a big privilege having him shoot the project. The Fantasy This Chinese Pavilion, with interiors by Kirill Istomin, is set among birch trees and meandering streams and even a highly ornamental Chinese bridge, in Alexander Park. It's adjacent to the Catherine Palace, in Tsarskoe (also spelled Tzarskoe) Selo about half an hour’s drive from St. Petersburg. It was designed by the celebrated Antonio Rinaldi, who had already built for Catherine the superb and legendary Chinese Palace at Oranienbaum. (I've been fortunate to visit that summer pavilion several times...it's the one with bugle-bead embroidered Chinese designs on t he walls.) Simple upturned roofs were homage to Orientalism. The village was one of the first architectural victims of the Nazi invasion, and was completely gutted during the shelling of Pushkin in 1941, as were the Catherine Palace and the Hermitage. The village has been fully restored, and the cottages once again serve as apartments, leased to help raise funds for the restoration of the park. The Chinese Village consists of ten single-storey cottages surrounding an octagonal pagoda-observatory. The Fashion for Chinoiserie Special insight on the Russian passion for Chinoiserie, from my great friend, Olga Bychek, the top St. Petersburg culture guide. Olga—whom I was fortunate to meet on my first tip to St. Petersburg some years ago, recently opened her own specialist guide company, Be Happy Russia. Details about Olga and her company below. I asked Olga about the royal Russian obsession with Chinoiserie. She told me, “From as early as the 17th century) Russian royal leaders saw art and porcelains and architectural studies from China and it became a sign of prestige to copy them. “This love and avid admiration of Chinoiserie in Russia starts at the time of Peter the Great. There was a great interest in Chinese fine porcelain, porcelain ware, porcelain objets de fantaisie (figurines, seashells, fruit), porcelain studies/rooms. During his trip to Europe in 1712-15 the Russian tsar saw how European monarchs competed with each other – saw porcelain studies of the Prussian royal residences and the collection of his ally in the Northern war – king August II of Saxony. Peter I as usual, wanted to exceed Europe in everything. This resulted in having a Lacquer Room (1720-22) designed in Monplaisir Palace in Peterhof (viewable today) and making big orders of Chinese-inspired porcelain in Holland and directly in China to decorate palaces in St. Petersburg. “Chinese architecture, temples, motifs, embroidery, jade, glassware, graphic imagery, lacquer screens, bugle beadwork, jewels, gold, silver, and artistry all inspired Russian as a kind of “Paradise of Enlightment”. Chinese ‘exoticism’ was a mania at the end of 18th century as reflected in Voltaire’s work). And many examples—the Chinese Pavilion at Oranienbaum, and the Chinese Village at Tsarskoe Selo) can be visited today. “It’s interesting to see that the Swedish royal court, and French and English and German monarchs were also obsessed with Chinoiserie in the 18th century. Italians and Portuguese kings as well. None of them actually went to China. But everone wanted the status of Chinese artistry, craft, and style. They did not need to visit China—they studied books, drawings, paintings, and brought specialist artists and architects to copy.” Thank you, Olga. The Chinese Palace at Oranienbaum near St. Petersburg is a fine example of Chinoiserie from the eighteenth century. In particular, the legendary beaded panels of one of the rooms shows bugle beads sewn onto silk with Chinoiserie images of cranes and trees. The billiard toom there has Chinoiserie styles mixed with Russian. I propose: make a plan to visit St. Petersburg and view the Chinese palace. But check with Olga first to make sure it is open. It is often closed for restoration. About the Chinese Pavilions and Village The big “Rotunda” Pavilion seen from a distance makes a compositional center of the village today. “The Rotunda” was restored in 1990s by architect Kalikow with funds from Pushkin Development A/S which leased the Village 25 years ago (in 1991) for 49 years (the longest possible leasing period in Russia). Now there are 28 apartments that can be used as guesthouses. They are private—but can be viewed in the park. About Kirill Istomin Russian interior designer Kirill Istomin worked for Albert Hadley before starting his namesake firm with headquarters in Moscow and NYC. Istomin is known internationally for his colorful and playful high-end designs with contemporary takes on classical European design traditions. His design firm manages projects in France, Italy, Great Britain, Russia and the U.S. Istomin's fine arts degree in interior design is from Parsons, New York. He began his career at the iconic interior design firms, Parish- Hadley. Parish – Hadley afforded Istomin an unparalleled experience collaborating with the patriarch of American design Albert Hadley. In Russia, Istomin writes a column for Elle Decoration, and he has been featured numerous times in AD Russia as one of the top designers in the country. Istomin has received international awards, including twice being awarded by Decorators Club of New York for “Excellence in Interior Design of Residential Architectural and Historical Landmarks” and for “Best Design”.

Check out this gorgeous Birds and Berries Chinoiserie Mural stencil ! Cutting Edge Stencils is very proud to introduce our amazing Chinoiserie Stencil collection. We made these gorgeous stencils so that DIY-ers can finally have an affordable Chinoiserie Chic! No more drooling over glossy interior design magazines and Pinterest :) With our oriental mural designs you can create breathtaking Chinoiserie rooms without breaking the bank. As you probably know, traditional hand-painted chinoiserie wallpaper can cost many hundreds if not thousands of dollars, but with our reusable stencils the project becomes very affordable. We sketched these beautiful asian stencil designs based on Janna's garden favorites: Japanese tree peonies, roses, elderberry and chrysanthemums. Cheerful tropical birds fit right in and bring a touch of exotic elegance with their long swaying tail feathers. Each chinoiserie mural panel is about 45" tall and is designed to fit above the chair rail. If you don't have an existing chair rail - no problem - you can easily paint a faux one by masking it out with painter's tape. The chinoiserie rooms look best if you purchase 2 different stencil panels and use them in alternating manner - this way the overall design is not too repetitive. But, as you can see from our pictures, repeating one panel looks great too, somewhat resembling an allover stencil pattern! These chinoiserie stencil panels do not have registration marks, as these are not interlocking stencils, so in case you're doing an entire wall, you'll need to measure and mark you placement to achieve even spacing between panels. The stencil panel comes with a free Single Bird stencil - just so you can get into all the tight places when finishing your panel This intricate chinoiserie stencil is actually quite easy to use, virtually anyone can do it. No kidding! The panels don't have registration like interlocking allover stencils, thus making stenciling rather easy. Simply tape it to the wall using BLUE painter's tape, then load your foam roller with the paint of your choice (latex or acrylic). Get rid of excess paint by rolling the foam roller over a folded paper towel. Then, just roll it over the stencil applying medium pressure for an instant fabulous result! Don't press on the roller too hard otherwise you might get some bleed. If you want to get more creative, stencil the birds in a different color. And if you really feeling artistic, go for a full-blown multi-color stenciling using brushes and shading techniques. Try experimenting with various colors, the most trendy color combinations include various shades of blue, but don't limit yourself - try stenciling in bold colors and even shimmering metallic paints! We recommend using this stencil with our awesome Clip-on Stencil Level , (sold separately) as you probably want your Chinoiserie panels perfectly leveled! Discover how easy it is to achieve perfectly level results without dealing with those bulky heavy bubble levels and annoying laser levels. Sold exclusively by Cutting Edge Stencils! For expert stenciling tips, please watch our How-to stencil videos ! You'll find them extremely helpful for your stenciling project. Even beginners get great results! Although most of our stencils do not require the use of spray adhesive , if your walls have a texture to them, it might be a good idea to use spray adhesive to help minimize paint seepage (Elmer's spray adhesive seems to be the best). Make sure you shake the can well and lightly mist (not drench) the stencil, and let it dry for a moment before positioning it on the wall. This step will prevent the adhesive residue transferring to the wall. You'll need to re-mist the stencil after a few repeats. Note: you will still need to hold the stencil in place with a few pieces of blue painters tape! Adhesive by itself is not enough to hold the stencil on the wall. Clean-up tip: Spray the stencil with Simple Green to help to remove adhesive residue and let it sit for a while before cleaning with soap and water. Please note that it is virtually impossible to get rid of all adhesive residue. That's why we personally prefer not to use it and just stick with painter's tape! Stenciling on rough or textured walls may contribute to increased paint bleed. For more information on stenciling on textured walls, see our F.A.Q. section. About seepage and imperfections: Even with a proper loaded roller and correct technique you might get some minor paint seepage here and there. In most cases it's not noticeable, especially from a couple of feet away and it can be easily touched up with a small brush. Don't forget that you're creating a "hand-painted wall finish". A few imperfections and some paint seepage here and there are natural and inevitable for this type of work. To avoid seepage, use spray adhesive and less paint on your roller and brush. Did you know you can stencil your own fabric and use it for curtains, tablecloths, pillows, etc.? When stenciling on fabric, please use stencil adhesive to ensure good results. First, tape your ironed fabric to the surface so it doesn't move around while you stencil. You'll get better results with stencil brushes, but sometimes roller can work too, depending on your fabric. Add some textile medium ( sold in craft stores) to your acrylic paint. You can also get a specially formulated fabric paint, but, frankly, good craft acrylic paint with a dollop of textile medium mixed in works just as well, and costs way less! :) Let the stenciled image dry completely, 24 hours is best, then heat-set it by ironing the fabric for about 20-30 seconds on a LOW setting through the piece of cloth. Heat-setting will cure the paint and will prevent it from being washed off in the washing machine. Always experiment with a sample of your fabric first to ensure good results. We have stenciled on silk, cotton, linen and even sheer fabrics with great results. It's always better if your fabric doesn't have too much texture. All of our stencils are made of thick, sturdy but flexible 12 mil clear plastic, reusable, easy to clean and stenciler-friendly! In our 20+ years of professional stenciling this material has proven to be far superior than any other material we used, including the industry standard 8 mil mylar. We are certain you'll notice the difference and will love working with it, just like all the folks who already bought our stencils. Our stencils are made to last and with proper care and storage will serve you for long time.
With a fanciful flair, Chinoiserie decor will instantly add charm and sophistication to your home. From the very ornate and colorful blue and white or yellow porcelain vases, lamps and tea sets, to bold upholstery and zodiac signs, Chinoiserie decorating is trending big time these days and we're sharing our favorite pieces...
