content: The exotic motifs in this Chinese room show the popularity of chinoiserie decoration in the Regency period. The walls are hung with Chinese painted paper bordered in blue and decorated with Chinese characters. Bamboo furniture, the Chinese pane in the transom above the doorway to the conservatory, and the japanned door are also examples of Regency Chinese taste.
