An exceptional and monumental Chinese embroidered silk textile dating to the late Qing Dynasty or early Republic period, circa 1890–1920. This magnificent hand-embroidered shawl features a deep cobalt-blue silk ground lavishly adorned with intricate polychrome silk thread embroidery depicting a continuous landscape filled with pavilions, bridges, flowering trees, birds, and figures engaged in daily life and celebration.
The composition is truly dynamic—layered terraces of gardens and architecture brimming with storytelling details, including scholars, musicians, attendants, and mythological motifs. The mastery of workmanship in the stitching, perspective, and composition speaks to a high level of artisan skill typical of the finest Suzhou or Canton embroidery workshops of the period.
The size is monumental, approximately 9 feet by 7 feet (excluding fringes), making it an extraordinary display or collection piece. The textile remains in nearly excellent condition for its age, with only a faint area of light staining near the upper right corner that blends seamlessly into the blue ground and is barely noticeable under normal lighting.
This is a one-of-a-kind example of Chinese textile artistry—an outstanding survivor from a bygone era, remarkable both in scale and craftsmanship. Perfect for collectors of fine Chinese textiles, museum display, or as a dramatic decorative hanging.
Dimensions: Approximately 9 ft x 7 ft slightly larger due to fringes
Period: Late Qing to Early Republic (c. 1890–1920)
Condition: Nearly excellent; minor, unobtrusive stain at upper right corner, otherwise fantastic overall preservation.
A truly museum-quality, one-of-a-kind masterpiece of antique Chinese embroidery.
