VC Museum Visits: 4 Chinoiserie Panels

In our continuing series ‘in honour of’ the temporary closure of the Carnavalet Museum, we examine 4 chinoiserie panels from the former residence of the Duke of Richelieu in Paris.

Why 4? They are meant to symbolize the 4 elements: Air, Earth, Fire and Water.

The first two of 4 chinoiserie panels: Air and Earth.
