Antique
Chinese Confucius Silk Wall Hanging. |
This
antique Chinese Confucius silk wall hanging dates from the late
19th century during the Qing Dynasty also known as the "Dragon
Throne". It is made of a red silk background with raised padded
satin stitch embroidery work, and gold couching work. There is a
large figure of Confucius in the center. Confucius was the founder
of the philosophy which came to dominate Chinese life from ad 124
to 1906. There are also embroidered Chinese character symbols, and
small round brass encased mirrors sewn onto it. It is backed in
a red and white cotton print chintz fabric with trees, flowers,
and sparrow birds flying. There is gold metallic lace trim edging
along one side. This unique wall hanging banner would have been
used to advertise a newly opened shop. The cloth measures 28 inches
long, and 16 1/2 inches wide. It is all hand stitched, and is in
excellent clean useable condition. There are seven cracked mirrors.
This is truly wonderful piece of antique Chinese textile art. $200 |
