Chinese silk wall-coverings are one of the earliest global luxury products. Originally the exclusive domain of Ming Dynasty Chinese nobility, by the 18th Century the papers had also been widely adopted by the English and French nobility as the high-water mark of interior design.
Chinoiserie wallpapers that depicted flowers, birds, and butterflies subsequently became the rage of the day with the affluent 18th and 19th century European commercial class and became a standard of elegant living during this period.
