Eastern or Asian influenced furniture and other home furnishings are not a new phenomenon. For centuries the influence has been present, even as it gets reinterpreted over and over again.

This dramatic peony upholstery fabric shows a deep Chinese influence. The other fabrics are a paisley medallion jacquard, a gold silk fabric, an ikat design and a plum blossom chenille. Consider these warm, spicy colors and patterns in all kinds of different combinations for a dramatic effect.
