Large Chinese Export Reverse Paintings on Glass, the Beauty

About the Item

Large charming 19th-century Chinese export reverse glass painting, depicting the beauty of traditional Chinese customs and clothing decorations on the noblewomen. The paintings come with their original hardwood frame and the old pins in the back of the panel. Reverse glass pictures became fashionable in the 18th century. Glass panels were sent from Europe to China by sea, where they were painted to order, framed, and then returned to the West for inclusion in Chinese-inspired interiors.
