Set of Four 19th Century Chinese Export Harbor / Seascape Paintings

About the Item

Set of Four 19th-Century Chinese Export Harbor and Seascape Paintings  Chinese School, Hand Painted on Silk, Measuring 14.5 inches wide by 11 inches high (sight), Laid on Board Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of 19th-century Chinese maritime trade with this captivating set of four Chinese export harbor/seascape paintings. Handpainted by skilled artists of the Chinese School, each painting is a testament to the era's bustling maritime activity. Painted on silk and laid on board, the intricate scenes come to life, offering vividly detailed views of four busy harbors, measuring 14.5 inches wide by 11 inches high. These masterworks offer a window into the vibrant hustle of harbors, featuring numerous varied ships adorned with international flags, capturing the essence of global trade during the period. Despite being apparently unsigned, the attention to detail and expert craftsmanship speak volumes about the artists' expertise. Presented in later giltwood frames, measuring 12.5 inches high by 16 inches wide, and protected and preserved under glass, the artworks remain in excellent, untouched antique condition. These paintings are not just exquisite artworks but also historical artifacts. Whether displayed collectively or individually, they serve as a timeless reminder of the maritime prowess and cultural exchange that defined 19th-century China.  *Please Note: The paintings are in well-cared-for antique, untouched condition, under glass, which causes some reflections and distortions that are not evident on the actual artwork.
