About
The Honourable East India Company: East - West Trade 1600-1800, Chinese Export Chinoiserie with guest lecturer Vivienne Lawes.This lecture explores how the East India Company developed its methods of trade and facilitated the increasingly sophisticated an profound exchange of ideas between East and West. It focuses on textile design as the vehicle for this analysis, but also includes other materials such as wallpaper, porcelain and furniture. Concentrating at first on the 17th century textile trade with India, the lecture then turns to the 18th century and trade with Imperial China. The distinction is drawn between export trade and evolving Western culture.
