Jewelry and other articles covered with the feathers were found in Tang Dynasty tombs. In the 18th century, the fashion developed for very large, intricate feather headpieces, and these can be seen worn by empresses and the ...click for details

A peacock embroidered in jewel tones stands on a low tree peony branch on this large red silk wall hanging from the late Qing period. During China’s Ming and Qing Dynasties, the peacock was used as a symbol of rank and also was presented as recognition for meritorious service. It symbolized beauty and dignity, and often was combined, as here, with the tree peony, emblem of Spring and good fortune. This peacock, its tail and wings spread wide against the red silk, is regal in shades of teal, pur ...click for details

click for details		Silk Road Gallery (203) 208-0771 $800
A mid-Qing Dynasty red silk temple wall hanging has magnificent embroidery in gold and the traditional colors of Tibet. The early 19th century panel, now framed and protected under glass, is from a period of friendship and interaction between China’s Manchu leaders and the Buddhist lamas of Tibet, which would account for the merging of Chinese design elements with those more typically Tibetan Buddhist elements such as the lion’s tail, eight colored jewels riding in the waves and the ball under t ...click for details

Five lions gambol across the intense red silk background of this mid-19th century Qing wall hanging.

Heavy doubled strands of gold are couched in contours to form the frolicking lions, or fou dogs, and the surrounding streamers, balls and clouds. Metallic blue thread is couched to define tails, manes and other details. Five pairs of huge black eyes are done in satin stitch. The ...click for details

Among the many varieties of red lacquered containers used during China's Qing and early Republic years, none has a more striking form than the humble lunch pail. An elegantly designed everyday item, it is constructed of shaped wood staves, a tall bent willow handle and a notched lid that snaps securely in place around the handle. Pails in this design also are referred to as berry pails. The recessed bottom on this one is decorated with two drawings of flowers, perhaps done by the maker of th ...click for details

Excellent pierced carving of leaves and scrolling surrounds a circular piece of marble in this late 19th century Chinese piece. Marble gazing was somewhat like cloud gazing in Qing Dynasty China, when pieces of "pictorial" marble were set into furniture and hung on walls as art. Patterns in the marble veins were said to resemble mountains, water scenes, or auspicious flowers and birds. This piece, with its beautifully carved hardwood frame, looks quite Victorian and is in very good con ...click for details
