Chinoiserie, a French word that essentially means “Chinese-esque”,  is used to describe a European art style reflecting Chinese artistic influences.   Gaining popularity in the 17th century, Chinoiserie’s whimsical patterns and fanciful designs graced furnishings found in the grand homes  of countless European monarchs like Louis XV.  We are big fans of this style here at Habersham and add new hand-painted Chinoiserie  furniture designs to our line each year.

Among them, the new  Monet Chinoiserie Breakfront design, shown here.  Introduced during the High Point Market held earlier this year,  this particular hand-painted Chinoiserie furniture design is part of our Claude Monet Collection.  Pieces in this collection take their inspiration from Monet’s famed home in Giverny, France, his great works, and his many travels.  He is said to have spent a great deal of time in Venice and the design lines and form of this particular piece are rooted in Venetian  style.  In choosing a finish, we decided that the dramatic black backdrop and delicate Chinoiserie motifs would bring a touch of subtle elegance to the design.

Monet’s Travels Provide Inspiration For Newest Designs

68 2380 Normandy Grand Monet Breakfront1 267x379 Monets Travels Provide Inspiration For Newest Designs © 2009 Habersham HomeWe launched our licensed Claude Monet Collection in 2000 with a series of designs inspired by the Impressionist’s famed home in Giverny and the works he created during his time there. We have continued to add designs over the years reflecting the Giverny home, its furnishings, surroundings and other important works by Monet.   A number of pieces in the collection have also been inspired by environments, and the stunning paintings they inspired, during the artist’s extensive travels to the rugged Normandy Coast and parts of the Mediterranean during the late 1800s.  

Among them, this month’s featured product, our new Normandy Grand Monet Breakfront, shown here.   As an artist, Monet traveled extensively to find visual inspiration and it was the Normandy Coast that seemed to provide a true touchstone for his life and work. Shown in the Sandemar Multicolor Studio finish, this grand breakfront offers an ideal showplace for treasured accents.
