A CHINESE KESI TRIBUTE STILL LIFE PANEL

拍品描述

Measuring 188 cm long and 93 cm wide, this refined kesi textile presents elaborate Qing-style tribute motifs laid against a deep navy woven backdrop. The intricate weaving reproduces a graceful vase holding lush peonies, alongside baskets of ripe berries, a miniature potted bonsai and abundant seasonal foliage. Vertical calligraphic inscriptions paired with a red seal stamp decorate the right-hand margin, while the textile is enclosed by an ornate geometric-patterned border. Precise tapestry work renders delicate petal textures, ceramic detailing and leaf veins with remarkable fidelity. Rich in scholarly auspicious connotations, this masterful panel is a distinguished acquisition for serious assemblages of traditional Chinese kesi decorative textiles.
