Wonderful Huge Pair of Antique Chinese Paintings

19th century
For Sale by Booths
Description

These are the largest paintings of this type I have ever come across. The quality, detail, and colouring are superb. They were framed some 50 years ago, and might require reframing in a more suitable style.

I'm not sure of the date I assume they are mid or early 19th century

There's some light refraction on the female, la owing to the glass

FAQs

Chinese ancestor portraits are formal portraits created to commemorate and honour deceased family members, traditionally displayed during ancestor veneration rituals and family gatherings.

These works were executed using organic and mineral pigments, ink, and watercolour applied to silk or paper substrates, which were then mounted on scrolls or framed panels.

Authenticity is evaluated through accurate rank badge iconography, age-appropriate oxidisation of the paper or silk, period-correct brushwork, and natural pigment wear.

A large-scale ancestor portrait serves as a strong focal point when hung above a sideboard, mantelpiece, or console table in modern, eclectic, or classical interior schemes.

Keep the artwork out of direct sunlight and environments with fluctuating humidity, utilising UV-filtering glass and conservation-grade backing materials to prevent fading.
