The incorporation of chinoiseries reached the height of its popularity in Europe in the 18th century. Indian treasures such as Chinese porcelain, silk screens or Japanese lacquer work were imported from Eastern Asia and presented in the Palaces throughout Europe. And in Eggenberg three rooms were also furnished to house East Asian treasures from the princely collection. The first of these rooms is the Porcelain Room, which has a service of Japanese Imari porcelain embedded into its walls. In addition, plates, lidded jars and small Imari cups are also displayed on etagères and lacquer work tables. The second room to incorporate chinoiseries in its design is a sort of "picture cabinet". In this room, Chinese silk screens were cut to create tiny genre works and framed like miniatures. The decoration on the walls gives the illusion that the miniatures are hanging from blue silk ribbons.
