About the Item
19th Century Chinese Imperial Kesi Panel in Silk and Metal – 187 × 63 cm
An exquisite Chinese Imperial kesi weaving, measuring 187 × 63 cm, masterfully crafted in silk and metal thread during the Qing Dynasty, 19th century. Kesi (meaning "cut silk") is among the most prized weaving techniques in Chinese textile history — traditionally reserved for the court and imperial circles. This rare panel radiates regal opulence with its imperial yellow ground, symbolizing the Emperor, and a rhythmic serpentine motif woven in shimmering metal thread that adds both visual movement and symbolic power. The intricacy and precision of the kesi technique, combined with the luminous quality of the silk and metal threads, speak to the highest level of Qing craftsmanship. Likely once part of a ceremonial robe or a palace furnishing, this textile is more than a decorative object — it's a preserved fragment of imperial China, rich in cultural and historical significance. Perfect as a wall hanging, collector’s piece, or centerpiece in a refined interior.
