Silk Velvet with metal brocade
Large, luxurious silk velvets were used as kang covers and produced in southern China in centres like Ch'angchou in Fukien province and Nanking in Jiangsu province. Throughout the Forbidden City and in wealthy aristocratic households, velvets were used as chair covers, seating mats and on the raised platform, kang, where most of the daily life took place. A cloud medallion which can be associated with longevity dominates the centre in which a cloud collar is surrounded by four butterflies. Elegantly drawn lotus tendrils fill the delightful field which is protected by four fierce-looking fret dragons woven in metal thread. The outer border shows happy dragons flying through clouds - but the dragon symbolism doesn't stop here. In the inner border are abstract dragons drawn in a style we find on archaic Chinese bronzes. These large velvets are always woven in three sections. The centre is woven separately from the sides. As the sides are woven continuously on one loom, the direction of the pile on the right-hand side runs opposite to the left, giving a playful interaction with the light when observed from different sides. A smaller example, but with exactly the same drawing, can be found in 'Imperial Silks', Minneapolis Institute of Arts, 2000, Volume II p. 1093.

Khotan378 x 194 cm (12' 5" x 6' 4")
East Turkestan, early 19th century
Condition: good according to age, low pile in places, both upper corners restored, several small professional repairs and reweavings
Warp: wool, weft: wool, pile: wool
On the blue field is laid an octagon and square lattice which Michael Franses identifies as the longevity pattern in Franses/König 'Der Glanz der Himmelssöhne' (Köln, 2005, p. 47). It appears in Ming carpets from the 17th century onwards, and later in East Turkestan carpets. In Chinese examples however the octagons and squares or cloud motives are filled with stars, bats or a peach. The precisely defined field in dark blue and red is encompassed by a system of frames reflecting many border types known in eastern Turkestan. A delightful, small, light-blue leaf and flower line first surrounds the field. This border is a kind of trademark for east Turkestan weavings, even though it appears in earlier Chinese carpets as well. Equally prominent in the area are the three blossoms in the square pattern followed by the rarer cross border with its diagonal colouring. The wonderful, yellow-ground blossom and three leaves system calms the composition and is followed by a mighty double-line swastika meander which we find regularly in the Khotan oasis. The final frame, again concentrating on the wonderful yellow we find in rugs of this oasis, shows intriguingly Chinese coin motives. A closely related example we can study is in the seminal work by Hans Bidder, 'Carpets from East Turkestan', on page 73. This spring a silk carpet with the same field design from the Yarkand oasis sold at Christie's London (27 April, Lot 164).

The size of these large, prestige trappings in the past led experts to ascribe them a range of different uses. For many years they were described as having been used to decorate the camels in the wedding procession. But these three-medallion examples amply illustrate the problem with this theory, since they are clearly too large to be used in such a context. They are now considered to be tent decoration for the wedding celebrations. There are fewer than a dozen of the three-medallion type known, excluding the small three-medallion subgroup that lack the narrow indents on the top edges of the field. This example has small, diamond-shaped end brackets on the horizontal arms in the medallions, a feature seen on only one example previously in the "Wher" Collection in Switzerland; that example however has different borders. The silk in the medallion has oxidised and would have been dyed with the insect dyes cochineal and lac and perhaps even some madder, mixtures of which have been used in varying intensities in the wool for certain small details throughout the weaving. This is thus a masterclass in dyeing. An interesting idiosyncrasy of this piece is the way that the tree design in the lower arched reserves connects to the border rather than being freestanding, as is more typical and occurs in the upper panel.
