This exquisite Chinese silk tapestry, measuring 48x20in, features the traditional Baizi (100 Children) motif, intricately hand-embroidered with remarkable detail. The scene depicts numerous children engaged in various playful activities within a lush garden setting, symbolizing prosperity, longevity, and the blessing of many descendants. Rendered on a deep blue silk ground, the vibrant polychrome threads showcase exceptional craftsmanship, with fine needlework defining the expressive figures and floral elements. This piece serves as a stunning example of early 20th-century oriental textile art, perfect for collectors of Asian antiquities or as a sophisticated wall hanging.
