Add an authentic touch of Chinese history to your home with this beautiful set of two hand-painted scenes, dating from the early 20th century.
Each artwork is painted on coarse fabric (marle-like weave) glued to paper – a traditional technique used in the first half of the 1900s to create durable and textured images.
The vivid colors, expressive figures, and architectural details depict scenes from Chinese classical literature or historical tales, featuring officials, warriors, and courtiers.
Framed behind glass in later black wooden frames, these works are ready to hang and bring a sense of old-world Asian charm to your interior.
