Delve into the exceptional resilience and creativity of Chinese culture and society between 1796 and 1912 with our brand new shop range accompanying theCiti exhibition China’s hidden century.
The exhibition gives a glimpse into Qing dynasty China, through art, fashion, newspapers and furniture; the extraordinary artefacts that inspired our selection of gifts and souvenirs. From mugs, tea towels and cushion covers decorated with imagery of Chinese auspicious symbols like phoenixes and dragons, to necklaces, bracelets and earrings handcrafted from highly valued gemstones such as agate and jade, from prints influenced by astonishing Chinese hanging scrolls to fashion pieces including scarves and tote bags adorned with cranes and blossoms, or cinnabar and cloisonné ornaments showcasing traditional Chinese carving and enamelling techniques, our array of homeware, textile and jewellery will take you on a journey through colours, textures and motifs of 19th century China.
