EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning kang cover made of yellow facecloth, adorned with intricate designs that transport us to the mythical world of Chinese folklore. Created by the Chinese School in the 19th century, this textile masterpiece measures 96x135 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The vibrant yellow fabric serves as a backdrop for five majestic dragons, skillfully embroidered in gilt thread amidst swirling clouds. These powerful creatures symbolize strength and good fortune, while bats carrying peaches and wan represent longevity and prosperity. The border surrounding the central motif features an enchanting pattern of clouds and bats, adding depth and dimension to the overall design. Every detail on this kang cover reflects exquisite craftsmanship and decorative technique prevalent during the early 19th century. The use of gilded thread adds a touch of opulence to this already mesmerizing piece. With its rich symbolism rooted in Chinese mythology, this kang cover not only served as a soft furnishing but also brought an element of cultural storytelling into interior decoration. Its presence would have undoubtedly added warmth and elegance to any space it graced. Now preserved as part of our collective heritage, this rare artifact allows us to appreciate both its artistic beauty and historical significance. It stands as a testament to the enduring allure of traditional Chinese design that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
