This piece is a remarkable survivor from the late Qing Dynasty era. The central 'Wan' pattern, or infinite fretwork, was a sacred motif representing ten thousand years of longevity. The high-relief gold threading (couching) was a hallmark of luxury textile production during this period. Originally curated and framed by a specialized Minnesota art gallery, it remains a stunning, high-contrast statement piece for any collector of fine Chinoiserie.
