European Pagoda & Phoenix Embroidery Fragment, c. 1900
About the Item
This antique embroidery fragment offers a Western interpretation of Chinese art styles and traditions. Densely stitched atop off-white silk, the embroidered scene depicts a tiered pagoda within a natural landscape, surrounded by pine trees and tall grasses. A man in the foreground tends to a mythical phoenix resting on a perch, a symbol of prosperity and benevolence. The figure’s face and hands are made from printed paper cutouts, an unusual method that allowed the artist to provide more detailed features. Enclosed in a gilt plaster frame, the vintage embroidery is a curious example of Chinoiserie-style textile work and reveals the popularity of Chinese art in the Western world in the early 20th century.
From the collection of Frances and Gary Comer.
