I used this example of a Chinoiserie pillow in my post on Eau de Nil yesterday.

This wallpaper on canvas, handpainted, with chinoiserie and rococo ornaments, from around 1765 (found in the Museum Geelvinck-Hinlopen Huis), reminds me of that pillow.

I have a Chinoiserie tin with the same vibrant red, black and gold colors.

Our lovely Eau de Nil color seems to be present frequently in vintage Chinoiserie.
