Synopsis
From the Ming eraÂ’s austere minimalism to the Quing dynastyÂ’s baroque exuberance, this is the definitive guide to classical Chinese design. Authentic, informed, and visually breathtaking, it shows how to add that perfect touch of Eastern exoticism to the home. The key areas of architecture, furniture, decorative details, textiles, and ceramics all receive extensive attention.

From Booklist
Journalist Quinn, with visual assistance from photographer JanBaldwin, captures the essence of Chinese design in a book destined tobelong in much-referred-to shelves, not on dust-gathering coffeetables. This is a panoply of stimulation, starting with anarrative that entrances with sparkling facts: the presence oflanterns as lights or the birth of chairs from a collapsible campstool. And the use of pattern as symbols of long life, riches, peace,love of virtue, and a venerated end of life. Visuals are no lessmemorable, from the materials of architecture to the simple eleganceof utilitarian ceramic objects. Mastering design--and life. ((ReviewedOctober 1, 2003))Barbara Jacobs
