Embroided Shanghai Harbour 1904

It’s NOT a painting! The magic of Kesi Silk embroidery comes to life with this amazing piece in vibrant colour, exceptional detail and historic buildings of Shanghai China. From the historic landmarks to the bustling harbour and homes in the foreground the depth of texture, colour and movement makes this an unbelievable piece. 
It showcases a panoramic view of the Bund, a famous waterfront area in Shanghai known for its historic buildings and harbour. 
This particular silk panel was made by the Hangzhou Qiwen Silk Weaving Factory in Beijing, China, between 1950 and 1957.
