About the Item

Important Vietnamese Silk Embroidery Hanging, Framed, "Deer in the Forest", Vietnam, circa 1940. Discover a rare and elegant piece of Indochinese craftsmanship created during the French colonial period. This exceptional silk embroidery depicts a bucolic scene of deer roaming in a lush forest, offering a perfect blend of exoticism and European influence. Unlike many creations of the time, this work diverges from traditional Asian motifs to align with the aesthetic codes of European tapestries, showcasing a perfect cultural fusion and timeless refinement. This exceptional piece is enhanced by its original frame, also dating from the 1940s. The wooden frame, glassed to protect the embroidery, features an elegant light blue patina, adding a delicate and timeless touch to the whole. The frame highlights the richness of the details while ensuring the perfect conservation of the tapestry. Features: Origin: Indochina (Vietnam), French colonial period (circa 1940) Technique: Fine silk embroidery, entirely hand-made Motif: Deer in the forest Framing: Light blue patinated glassed frame. Dimensions: Height: 98 cm Width: 110 cm Depth: 7 cm Condition: This rare piece is in excellent condition, reflecting the special care taken in its preservation. The embroidery retains its rich colors and details, and the period frame, although old, is solid and stable. There is no notable wear, making it a prime acquisition for a collector or lover of refined interior decoration. Why This Piece Is Exceptional: A unique craftsmanship: Indochinese silk work is known for its fine quality and sophistication. Every detail – from the flowing foliage to the delicate muscles of the deer – reflects the skill and precision of the artisans. A remarkable cultural blend: The fusion of European and Asian influences illustrates a unique moment in artistic history when local craftsmanship engaged with Western tastes, particularly those of French colonists. An absolute rarity: Few similar pieces, in this condition and with its original frame, remain available in the art market today. A rare work of art, perfect for collectors of historical pieces and refined decorations. Don’t miss out on this rare item! We are specializing in premium antiques.
