Chinese Village scene Rubbing Art

The ART of early printing on paper started nearly 2000 years ago. This Rare piece is a true find of an ancient craft. Exotic and original piece with fine handmade Paper depicting two villages, surrounded by trees and mountain ranges. 
The process of creating this wonderous and gorgeous piece dates back centuries. This particular piece has been in the same family since the mid to late 1700s. Adorned on your wall this will be focal point and true conversation starter. Difficult to date precisely we have based the date  on our sellers recollection and personal history with it - "its been in the family for at least 200 years"  including the type of paper with a blackened front and translucent back are only noted in some of the earlier examples we've seen, with the three stamps and translation of some text we would assume a date of late 1700's or early 1800's. 
 
We have carefully framed in a black bordered and floated frame to excentuate the overall beauty of the piece.
