Europe's fascination with all things oriental originated from the East India Company's trading trips to China in the 17th Century. 

Now, even after centuries, it seems our love affair with chinoiserie still endures, and through De Gournay's magical work, handpainted wallpaper can still find a place in our digitised world.
