Object Description

China, Canton, Qing dynasty, early 19th century.
Why we like them
The exquisite quality of decoration and the miraculous state of preservation for a decorative artwork on paper make these panels a truly rare find. The subtlety of colours, bold yet not garish, lend a ‘noble’ look to the piece.
Each panel measures
Height: 90 in / 227 cm
Width: 22 in / 55 cm
