Antique Chinese Silk Embroidered Tapestry

About the Item

Dating from the 1900s, this is one of the most magnificent pieces of antique Chinese silk tapestries. Rendered in an elegant, Classic style, this stunning antique Chinese embroidery depicts a traditional verdure scene. The refreshing variegated tones of blue, brown, beige and green combined with a beautiful perspective creates a tranquil forest and river scene of China. Impeccably embroidered from silk, this antique Chinese tapestry takes on a spirited type of energy – some say “a joie de vivre” meaning to experience the joys of living, loving and playing by getting back to nature. The wear as to be expected is to the silk backing of the design but all of the hand-worked applique is in good condition. The historic worth far exceeds any damage that comes with the wear. In any event, it is simply amazing. If you adore timeworn treasure, this tapestry is a divine find. Explore your interior design options by browsing an exclusive selection of tapestries with Esmaili rugs and antiques. If you want to bring old world charm into your space, then begin with adding vintage or antique tapestries. They can be used to create a beautiful centerpiece or focal point in the room. Pictures and wall art are nice; however, a home adorned with tapestries make an elegant and personal statement. Tapestries, not only beautiful, also served a purpose. They were made to divide large spaces into intimate settings, soften cold stone walls and to block out drafts of cool air in winter months. Tapestries add texture and terrific depth to a space, whether you want a contemporary look or a period room. We love the way tapestries add warmth and dimension to the stark whiteness and clean lines of modern architecture.
