SUMMARY:Carried on Galleons, Borne by Winds
DESCRIPTION:Coveted by princely collectors, precious artefacts from China adorned palaces across Europe. By the mid-18thcentury the popularity of these luxury arts from China inspired a passion for chinoiserie: the imaginative recreation of a vision of Cathay in porcelain, silver, furniture and architecture. This lecture shows how these desirable luxury goods were traded from China to Europe.\nLecturer: Anne Howarth. Anne is an independent scholar and historian with extensive experience as a lecturer in art history and as a guide for museum tours. She was formerly a senior ceramics specialist at the head office of Christie’s Fine Art Auctioneers in London and has lived in Shanghai, China.\n
