EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable fragment from a chair strip dating back to the Qing Dynasty in China, specifically around 1700-1750. The creator of this exquisite piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to its already fascinating history. The intricate design on this textile is truly awe-inspiring. Delicate floral patterns adorn the fabric, showcasing the skilled craftsmanship and attention to detail that was characteristic of the era. Gold leaf and gold thread have been meticulously incorporated into the design, lending an opulent touch to this decorative artwork. The use of silk as the base material further enhances its beauty and elegance. Wrapped in lacquered paper strip, this fragment exemplifies traditional Chinese weaving techniques such as slit and dovetail tapestry weave with interlacing outlining wefts. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's renowned art gallery, it serves as a testament to China's rich artistic heritage. Its presence evokes a sense of wonderment among visitors who are captivated by its historical significance and aesthetic appeal. As we admire this extraordinary creation captured through photography, let us appreciate not only its visual splendor but also recognize how it represents centuries-old traditions passed down through generations.
