(Chinoiserie st.) - This European interpretation of Chinese arts and traditions began in the early 17th century and is closely related to Rococo. Characterized by exuberance, asymmetry, and materials, Chinoiserie showcased the leisure and pleasure thought by Europeans to be the typical Chinese lifestyle.
