Chinese Wallpaper in Britain and Ireland (National Trust Series)

a beautiful and well researched book but it could not name the roses in the designs

I'd wanted this book for ages and wasn't disappointed. Lavishly illustrated and wonderful quality of photography and print finish. Explores and documents the limited and really exceptional examples of original and historic Chinese wallpaper which adorns the walls of some of our historic houses. Not skimpy on the text, either, well written and full of information. A really lovely book.

Saw this in a museum bookshop and swore I'd get it one day. I bought a lot of art books during lockdown to compensate for not being able to visit galleries, and this was top of my list. Simply stunning reproductions, alongside informative essays. Buy it!!

Excellent book, not readily available elsewhere.

This is such a great book. I’ve been looking for a book like this for ages. Brilliant detailed photos and great historic narrative. I’ve just ordered another one to give as a Christmas present!

Met my expectations

Excellent. Scholarly but accessible

Just what i needed

This book provides a lot of information about Chinoiserie. It's fun to read the fascinating history of the development of Chinoiserie. I guess is the most comprehensive one on the market. Also, it contains lots of valuable pictures. It's a great treasure!

The book arrived promptly and in great condition.

Transaction parfaite

All the amazing photos aside, the book is filled with the history of these wallpapers and covers this indepth. There is much to learn if you are at all interested in the subject.

As an avid reader of Emile de Bruijin's blog for the National Trust Collections, I was excitedly waiting for this book and I cannot think of anyone more qualified to write it. At last now there is a book that features this beautiful and singular style of wallpaper, which has been an enduring force in interior design for centuries. The photos are clear and colorful, the writing is likewise beautiful. Not since French Scenic Wallpaper 1795-1865 have I treasured a book this much!
