About the Item
Large Chinese Hand-Painted Silk Scroll of Two Blue Cranes, Mid-20th Century
Dimensions:
Framed: 48" H × 37" W × 1.5" D
Sight: 44" H × 32" W
A striking hand-painted Chinese silk scroll painting depicting two elegant cranes in a naturalistic marshland setting. Executed in mineral pigments and gouache on silk, the artwork showcases the meticulous gongbi brushwork technique, noted for its fine line detailing and richly textured feathers. The graceful composition—with one crane upright and the other bowing near a reflective pool—symbolizes longevity, marital harmony, and spiritual elegance, core themes in Chinese decorative arts.
Rendered in a refined palette of soft blues, greens, and whites, the cranes’ plumage is intricately layered to emphasize movement and serenity. The work is mounted in its original 1970s-era natural wood frame under glass, with minor age-related foxing to the silk ground, consistent with vintage pieces of this type.
This piece was distributed by Omarts of Franklin, Tennessee, a mid-century purveyor of framed Asian art for the American interior design market, often sourcing directly from Chinese painting studios active during the post-war period.
A captivating statement piece ideal for a serene interior, chinoiserie-themed space, or art collection focused on East Asian painting traditions.
