Summary/Abstract: This article examines the characteristics of Chinoiserie style manifestations in Ukraine, focusing on architectural and artistic monuments from the 17th to 19th centuries, with an emphasis on interior design and garden art. It traces the routes of Chinese handicrafts and European Chinoiserie objects into Ukraine, identifying key motifs and elements used in Ukrainian estate environments (mural painting, porcelain, furniture, park sculpture, and small-scale architecture). Based on fieldwork, the article details how Chinoiserie elements were adapted to local landscapes and cultural contexts. Figurative-stylistic, formal, semantic, and comparative analyses were used.
