History:
In the 1600s, England set up trade with China and India. To the English, the "East" represented all that was mysterious and exotic. First with ceramics, silks, and spices, then soon with furniture and wallpaper. (And of course tea In the 1700s) Brighton Pavillion style is named after the estate of the same name located in England and was once the home to the Prince Regent and later George IV. It is believed that the Brighton Pavillion style grew from a gift of Chinese wallpaper that was given to George IV. He planned to use it to decorate a single room in his Brighton estate. As he began decorating with the help of John Nash, this new design concept spilled over into the other areas of the estate. From rugs and lighting, and even to furniture. This chinoiserie style continued until the 1820s and inspired many pieces of Brighton-style furnishings. And soon many fine homes in Europe began to incorporate Brighton Pavillion style.
