About the Item
The Chinese Pavilion at Drottningholm is one of the most remarkable "chinoiseries" anywhere in the North of Europe-not because of its size and the splendour of its collections, but because Queen Lovisa Ulrica's little pleasure palace, so exquisitely preserved and complete, gives a modern day visitor a genuine experience of that longing for unconstrained informality and exotic idyll, which was so poignant a sentiment of the Rococo age.
Aesthetically, this exotic dream, created two hundred years ago, is balanced whole, notwithstanding its blend of purely European stylistic traits with chinoiserie, some of it Continental, some Swedish in origin, and with original objects d'art from the Far East, many of great rarity: Figurines in clay and porcelain, lacquer and metal work, textiles, curios and useful objects of widely varying character. Indeed, it is precisely this mingling of original items with more or less elegant European "Chinoiseries" that excites and arouses the curiosity of any visitor to the Pavilion today.
As a result of a thorough restoration of the Pavilion's interior, begun in 1959 and concluded in August 1968, many of the numerous questions posed by the little pleasure palace's history and inventories have now been answered. Many years research, notably by this book's three main authors, have made it possible to present this comprehensive monograph on the Chinese Pavilion at Drottningholm. 327 pages. 1980 grams
