Description

A finely detailed pair of Chinese Qing Dynasty leaf paintings of birds among flowers presented within a green mount and giltwood frame.

The leaves are from the peepal tree, otherwise known as the sacred fig or Bodhi tree, which is native to south-west China. Peepal leaves form delicate, transparent skeletons once dried, and as such are perfectly suited to this miniature art form. This particular pair of peepal leaf paintings are of a quality which makes them quite rare, and the subject matter of birds only add to their appeal.

Dimensions: Frame - 31.5 cm x 26.5 cm
Weight: 574 & 582 g to give a total of 1.056 kg

Condition: The paintings are in good antique condition. The vintage frames are very presentable, the only negative being some foxing spots on the ivory coloured card to which the leaves are attached. The paintings have not been inspected outside their frames.

Postage & packing: £8 within the UK. Please contact David for a quote to post to an international destination.
