拍品描述

A Chinese kesi silk double‑dragon textile panel L. 164 cm. W. 150 cm. A Chinese kesi silk double‑dragon textile panel, measuring 164cm long, 150cm wide. Set against a rich apricot‑orange ground, two majestic confronting dragons twist dynamically around a flaming pearl, interspersed with stylized cloud and ruyi motifs. The lower section features turbulent blue‑green rock‑wave patterns. Fine kesi tapestry weaving sharply renders dragon scales, fierce facial features and layered decorative elements. Visible fold creases and minor surface wear can be observed, consistent with long‑term storage of this ornate ceremonial woven textile.
