We are delighted to announce that over 300 lots of Chinese and other works of Asian art treasures will be be open for bidding from October 1st through the 15th.
One of the standout lots is this Rare Large Chinese Imperial Yellow Ground Nine Dragon Brocaded Silk Panel from the Qing Dynasty estimated between $20,000-40,000. The yellow ground silk brocade panel appears to be late Qianlong or early Jiaqing period, decorated with blue, green, orange and white to enhance the nine sinuous gold dragons. The top, a deep blue brocade with one front facing dragon and two in profile on each side of the central dragon. The nine dragons speak to imperial authority and this yellow color was reserved exclusively for the emperor. Tapestries of this type, large and impressive, were hung throughout the Forbidden City. An important factor in the history and use of the banner offered here is the padding. This indicates that this banner was likely used during the winter months.
This banner is quite rare, but there are examples of others that have sold, closest in date and in make up is a nearly identical pair including the top portion, though apricot not gold, sold at Sotheby’s, London, November 8, 2017. Another similar example, though much smaller and lacking the top portion, sold at Christie’s, Hong Kong, November 27, 2007.
