How intriguing ! Dyrham Park, an 17th century mansion nr Bath, England, has an entire room decorated in Dutch leather 'wallpaper' . The colours now faded but originally vibrant. The house displays many Dutch & Chinese influences and artefacts: Delft tulip vases, Kangxi porcelain etc. Did the Dutch 'Tulip Mania' ever reach China ?
