19th Century Qing Dynasty Chinese Silk Hand Embroidery Framed Panel
19th Century Qing Dynasty Chinese Silk Hand Embroidery Framed Panel

19th Century Qing Dynasty Chinese Silk Hand Embroidery Framed Panel

Located in Barrington, IL

This exquisite 19th century Chinese silk hand-embroidered panel, created during the Qing Dynasty, exemplifies the highest level of traditional Chinese textile artistry. Executed with extraordinary precision, the composition features a densely worked arrangement of flowers, auspicious bats, and delicate moths, rendered against a luminous blue silk ground woven with a subtle damask pattern. The embroidery employs the highly specialized forbidden (seed) stitch technique, using a refined combination of silk and metallic threads to create remarkable depth, texture, and tonal variation. Each motif is meticulously articulated, resulting in a surface of exceptional richness and visual complexity. The fineness of the stitch work reflects the skill of master artisans, making this panel both a decorative and cultural treasure. An outstanding example of Qing Dynasty silk embroidery. The harmonious balance of imagery and craftsmanship makes this textile ideal for use as a framed wall panel as part of a sophisticated collection of Asian decorative arts.

Framed Japanese Embroidery Dragon Tapestry Meiji Period
Framed Japanese Embroidery Dragon Tapestry Meiji Period

Framed Japanese Embroidery Dragon Tapestry Meiji Period

Located in Atlanta, GA

A striking Japanese embroidery tapestry circa 1890s Meiji period presented in a gilt wood frame under glaze. The design features four dragons coiling and slithering in the clouds. The most auspicious mythological creature, dragon was a very popular motif in Japanese textile art. Viewing this particular piece, one is struck by the superb craftsmanship with the profuse use of silver threads in satin stitches and complex chain stich coiling that create the background. The slight relief technique was also used on parts of the dragon heads, rendering the piece a strong sense of dimension and motion. The textile itself measures about 32.5"x46". Japanese Meiji textiles were widely exhibited in the west during turn of the 20th century at the international exposition. It was used to showcase the Japanese aesthetics with the techniques at their pinnacle. These expositions solidified the country's images overseas and felled the Japanese craze in the west, which turned out to be a long-lasting influence on the western art. Many pieces were purchased and stayed in the west. As there is no brocade border present, the piece is likely the main part with the central motifs of a larger tapestry and was later framed for display. For two similar dragon tapestries...

A finely embroidered Japanese silk Fukusa panel presented in a beautiful silk-lined giltwood frame (newly framed and glazed), circa late 19th century of Meiji Period. Fukusa is a traditional Japanese textile art used to wrap and present gifts at important occasions. Depending on the occasion, the panel itself can be a very fine textile art on its own. On the deep blue background, this elaborate textile art depicts an old couple standing on a bridge with three bystanders, flanked by pine trees with hills afar. The couple is Jotomba (Joo and Uba are their respective names), characters in the Legend of Takasago, one of the oldest Japanese mythologies, who are associated with old pines. The legend goes as: "At Takasago Shrine there is a very old pine tree, the trunk of which is bifurcated; in it dwells the spirit of the Maiden of Takasago who was seen once by the son of Izanagi who fell in love and wedded her. Both lived to a very great age, dying at the same hour on the same day, and since then their spirits abide in the tree, but on moonlight nights they return to human shape to revisit the scene of their earthly felicity and pursue their work of gathering pine needles. His pine tree is called “The Pine of Suminoe” while hers is "Takasago pine". In Japan, Takasago couple...
