Inspiration

Pagodas, latticework railings, and bridges were key elements in the 18th-century English interpretation of Asian designs. The British East India Company's import of tea, porcelains, lacquers, and silks from China fueled a mania for goods "in the Chinese taste."  British copperplate-printed fabrics (now called by their French name, toiles) became all the rage in curtains and slipcovers about 1770.
