Among the most refined goods exported from China were large rolls of decoratively painted paper mostly prepared specifically for the western market. In contrast to their European counterparts, they were masterfully hand-painted and conceived on a grand scale, cut to fit a room and either pasted to the wall or lined on canvas and set on a wooden stretcher. During the 18th Century, the fashion for chinoiserie was such that most European palaces and grand country houses would have had at least one room that was decorated with Chinese wallpaper panels. A similar set of wallpaper panels are at Castello di Guarene, Turin, illustrated in Roberto Antonetto, Il castello di Guarene: un documento della civiltà piemontese del Settecento, Turin, 1979, pp. 62-63 and also at the Fondazione Accorsi, illustrated in Roberto Antonetto, Pietro Accorsi: un antiquario, un'epoca, Turin, 1999, p. 130.
