Description

H:184cm(72.44in) W:192cm(75.59in)This tapestry is a national treasure of Qing Dynasty imperial kesi craftsmanship. With an orange mulberry silk base, it adopts the "passing warp and breaking weft" kesi technique to meticulously weave the theme of "Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Good Luck". The center is a five-clawed positive dragon, surrounded by four phoenixes, decorated with auspicious clouds, flowers, sea water waves, and eight treasures patterns at the hem. The composition is full, the colors are gorgeous, and the craftsmanship is extremely exquisite. As a Qing Dynasty imperial cushion/kang blanket, it is the supreme symbol of imperial power and good luck, with extremely high historical, artistic and collection value.
