I personally adore Chinoiserie. I once used a very small jewel case with legs that was from the Paris Flea market. It was from about 1803, it was the darkest green , almost black.
The top lifted up, it had the original salmon silk in it and a mirror. It was tattered inside which was fine. The outside had very simple/delicate lines.
Ladies used to sit on a little stool and put on their jewels for the day or an elegant affair.
It measured about 26 high , 12 wide by 18 long.
I used it next to a chair in an aqua toile dressing room. It ended up being featured in a magazine.
ah.................I wish I could time travel.
I would only go back in time.
Wish I could today....The Georgian era, I want to be there.
