Chinese silk embroidered tapestry, 1890

About the Item

Chinese tapestry made in the late 1800s, most likely from the late Qing period. It is a form of textile art that lies somewhere between craftsmanship and artistic representation, made by hand on a loom and intended to cover walls. The tapestry in question depicts a group scene with high-ranking figures depicted in elegant and richly detailed clothing. This type of representation was common in decorative panels of the Qing period, which often celebrated heroic figures. The way the characters are arranged represents a continuous visual narrative where everyone has a specific role. Tapestries of this type were displayed in ceremonial settings or as decorations for palaces, emphasizing the social status and traditions of the family . Total measurements are 74x305 cm, embroidered in silk with the addition of metal beads for details of the characters' clothes. The state of preservation is good.
