|
| The WILLIAMSBURG brand is a fresh fusion of today’s lifestyle with the beautiful decorative traditions of early America. During the 18th century, as the West began to discover the East, England and the colonies became enchanted with Asian design-Indian chintzes, pagodas, Japanese lacquering, and Chinese porcelain and silk. Their influences began appearing everywhere from clothing to ceramics to furniture and architecture. As the capital of Britain’s largest and wealthiest New World colony, Williamsburg was the site of many historic decisions and a center of thought and culture. The colonial capital was no exception to this popular trend. |
|
| Today, chinoiserie details and Asian elements can still be found throughout the restored town. These alluring designs by WILLIASMBURG and Oriental Accent are inspired by Colonial Williamsburg’s extensive antiques collection. Each piece captures the elegance of America’s richest decorative arts period. Sales of WILLIAMSBURG products support The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, which oversees the restored 18th-centrury capital. |
