"Majestic Late 19th Century Chinese Silk Embroidered Wall Hanging – Dragons in Harmony"

Capture the grandeur of Chinese craftsmanship with this fine antique silk wall hanging, a breathtaking example of late 19th-century embroidery. This exquisite piece portrays five regal dragons, with one commanding centrepiece encircled by four smaller companions, set against a rich floral-bordered background. The intricate details and vibrant artistry evoke the mystique of imperial China, symbolising strength, power, and harmony.


A Rare and Striking Piece of Textile Art

This hand-embroidered wall hanging speaks to the exceptional skill of Chinese artisans, with each stitch forming a part of the mythical narrative. The balance of bold dragons and delicate floral motifs adds an air of majesty, making it a standout centrepiece for any collection or interior.

The reverse side reveals the original stitching, offering a glimpse into its authentic craftsmanship and history.


Condition:

  • Good original condition for its age, with the following details:
    • Some light staining visible in places.
    • A 9 cm tear on the bottom right edge where the lining has detached, easily repairable without detracting from the embroidery's beauty.

Dimensions:

  • Length: Nearly 137 cm (54 inches)
  • Width: 121 cm (47.5 inches)

Why This Piece Stands Out:

  • A Cultural Treasure: A showcase of traditional Chinese symbolism, perfect for enthusiasts of Asian art and history.
  • Visually Striking: Dragons, floral borders, and silk embroidery combine for an impressive display.
  • Authentic and Rare: Original condition with minor imperfections that tell the story of its journey through time.

Whether displayed in a collector’s gallery, a luxurious study, or as a statement piece in your living space, this silk-embroidered wall hanging is a stunning reminder of the rich heritage of Chinese artistry.
