China, for export to Europe
Large wall hanging or curtain in sky-blue marbled silk satin with a hint of celadon, made in workshops in Canton, China, for export to Europe and dating from the Second Empire period. Polychrome silk embroidery in flat and backstitch, featuring shades of bamboo groves, chrysanthemums, and tree peonies, populated by pheasants and numerous birds.
