It is a … more Chinese tapestry made at the end of the 19th century, most likely from the late Qing period.
It is a form of textile art that is halfway between craftsmanship and artistic representation, made by hand on a loom and intended to cover walls. The tapestry in question represents a group scene with high-ranking figures, depicted in elegant and detailed clothes. This type of depiction was common in Qing period decorative panels, which often celebrated heroic figures. The way in which the characters are arranged represents a continuous visual story where each one has a specific role. Tapestries of this type were displayed in ceremonial contexts or as palace decorations, emphasizing the family's social status and traditions.
The total measurements are 74x305 cm, embroidered in silk with the addition of metal beads for details of the characters' clothes.
The state of conservation is good. This piece is designed in the style of the selected designer and/or manufacturer less
