About the Item

An impressive early 20th century Chinese silk kesi panel measuring 74 x 40 inches, finely woven with vibrant and detailed imagery of immortals and attendants set within a heavenly landscape. The scene unfolds vertically through rolling clouds, mountains, pines, and temple architecture, with figures engaging in scholarly and spiritual pursuits. Rendered in the intricate kesi (cut silk) technique, the panel captures the essence of Daoist or Buddhist mythology with ethereal movement and striking colors. Condition is good overall with expected minor age wear, including some silk loss and light fading consistent with its age. Presented in a simple wood frame under glass, this large and decorative panel remains a compelling example of early 20th century Chinese textile art.
