拍品描述
Dimensions:Length 45cm (17‑23/32in), Width 35cm (13‑25/32in)Condition & Provenance:This antique textile artifact has been professionally mounted inside a custom‑built display frame for long‑term conservation and presentation.The original fabric pouch itself shows all the honest wear you would expect from a genuine ancient silk relic that survived hundreds of years buried underground.There is noticeable fabric brittleness,frayed edges,minor surface cracking,subtle fiber degradation and scattered mineral deposits across the textile surface.The layered appliqué stitching remains largely intact,though some local thread losses and tiny fabric splits can be seen along pattern seams and outer borders.No heavy restoration,no over‑painting,no modern fabric patching or replacement work has been done on the original pouch piece;all aging features are authentic and time‑formed.This rare textile treasure comes out of a well‑established private collection based in Los Angeles,California.It was sourced from early Asian art market channels back in the late 1970s,and has stayed safely within one private family collection ever since,carefully preserved away from public view until this auction offering.Description:This is a genuine ancient Chinese silk fabric pouch,expertly presented within a custom decorative display frame.This personal storage pouch was skillfully assembled using multi‑layer textile appliqué craftsmanship.Two‑toned dark brown and near‑black zigzag wavy geometric motifs run symmetrically across both halves of the pouch body,forming a strong visual rhythm that speaks to early medieval textile aesthetic preferences.A thick fabric tie knotted tightly at the top serves as the original closing mechanism for this small carrying bag.The whole pouch takes on a soft crown‑like silhouette with curved outer edges.The fabric shows obvious multi‑layered fabric splicing and fine hand‑sewn joinery throughout every section.This piece carries huge historical value,as surviving organic silk artifacts from this early period are extremely hard to come by,most textiles would completely rot away under burial conditions.The frame provides great viewing convenience while offering solid protective support for this fragile ancient textile relic.It is a highly collectible museum‑grade early Chinese textile specimen.
