19th century Chinese scroll painting (re-backed) depicting children in a procession with toys, kites, peach branches etc. silk mount, framed and glazed, 135cm x 80cm CONDITION REPORT: The condition of the painting is very poor, it has been re-backed some time ago having been seriously worm attacked. Painted areas are still good and bright though there is still damage, particularly to calligraphy and to the lower paintwork. Backing scroll paper and silk surrounds are rather wrinkled. The frame is black lacquered c. 1900-1920s, chipped corners and particularly along top of frame. Decayed masking tape helping to secure backing.
