Little Greene – Elysian Ground No.320
in 1738 the architect William Kent renowned for his follies – designed a small, stilted, timber garden room to stand in the middle of a pond within the Elysian Fields at Stowe in Buckinghamshire; it was first decorated by the Italian painter Francesco Sleter, who combined figurines, foliage and calligraphy in an intricate Chinoiserie style, with this sumptuous deep stone colour as a background; paint research has shown this treasured building was repainted at least twice in the 19th-century and again in 1937; following periods in Wotton, a neighbouring estate, and Ireland, the Chinese House was returned to Stowe to undergo a complete but faithful refurbishment in 1996.
