Hang Zhou [n.d. ca 1901-1920], Hang Zhou Qi Wen Si Zi Chang Zi Zao. Color silk weaving, 84 x 19 cm., stapled to a wooden board, gold wood frame, the weaving has 1 spot at top center 2.5 x 2 cm. & a few other rubbed through spots, else solid. THE SUBJECT: This is a very rare, unusual and lovely item. It is a machine woven illustr…ation of the inside of the Beijing Imperial Palace [Gu gong] & Forbidden City [Zijincheng]. Especially showing the area around the Summer Palace and Lake Kunming. It shows people in row boats on the lake, with the lovely marble boat as the background, as well as Jingshan Park, also known as "Prospect Hill." * DATE These are very obscure and most didn't last from such a long time ago. While there is a date stamp in red on the wooden mounting board lower right-hand corner, it is very feint and hard to read anything other than "Nian" [year] & Yueh [month] but on numbers visible. We estimate this to have been done some where about 1901-1920's, after the end of the Boxer Rebellion. * COLOPHON/TITLES: On the left margin, is the publisher's name: HANG ZHOU QI WEN SI ZI CHANG ZI ZAO: HANGZHOU SILK WEAVING FACTORY. Also on the left margin is "7 x 32" which likely refers to the size of the item in inches, which are actually 7 3/8 x 33 inches when stretched and stapled to the backing board. The right margin states the title in Chinese: BEIJING WAN SHOU SHAN QUANJING: PANORAMA OF BEIJING WAN SHOU MOUNTAIN. * CONDITION: The work has a hole at the center top margin in the sky, and has a gray paper mounted behind the weaving to keep it intact. There are also some minor number of to her small rubs, here and there. Because this item was stretched- mounted with staples, this caused some "pull" to the fabric. At the left one-third of the weaving the sky is showing some stress lines going horizontally across to the center, as is the right one third sky portion as well. Otherwise, the work is nicely intact, and not damaged. The old staples are copper plated, therefore no rust is evident. We strive to point out every flaw of significance but commonly over describe such flaws. Overall and by and large this is a very nice, stable and obscure item. Few have survived the ravages of time and attrition rate. * FRAMING / BACKING BOARD: The backing board is 100% wood, consisting of 7 panels glued on end to form one single and long board. Over this is a gold-painted wooden frame consisting of thin wood, with mitered corners, which acts as a mat, to cover the edges and staples. This frame/mat wood is placed over the textile weaving, and is therefore ready for a larger glazed frame. There is a silver label adhered to the gold frame at the bottom center it reads CHI WEN SILK WEAVOMG CO., and has Chinese characters above that name. Nice association with the weaving. * RARITY. This and other works from the Chi Wen Silk Weaving Co. are quite rare and seldom found on the market. We have seen one other which is a panoramic view of Shanghai and the Huang Po river. Please inquire for information. * SHIPPING: Being an extra long item, appropriate extra shipping & packing charges will apply. Please inquire prior to ordering to request shipping cost information. We reserve the right to ship this by Federal Express as they are the most reliable & dependable shipper for delicate and large items. *.
