During the Belle Époque period it was considered novel and dandy to have the odd exotic item of furniture in ones cluttered late Victorian or Edwardian boudoir or parlor . With increased commercial sea links and troop movements via Suez from India and the Levant large items could be readily shipped individually and commercially en-masse to the likes of Liberty & Co adapting into the current fashionable taste for the Arts and Crafts movement of the day, which emulated such oriental exotica.
