Chinoiserie Birds - Annie Sloan Stencil Winchester but can create quietly charmingChinoiserie is the extravagant, whimsical, dreamlike 17th Century Western interpretation of Chinese and East Asian artistic traditions. This Chinoiserie Bird stencil design has been inspired in particular by the exquisite hand painted wallpapers at the palace of Drottningholm in Sweden. Use for an elegant, glamorous or avant garde look. Add touches of gold leaf for an authentically palatial finish.
