Mount Congreve – which was originally called ‘Brauchaille’ meaning the edge of a cliff in Irish - stands majestically above the River Suir, not far from the city of Waterford in the south east corner of Ireland. The house was built circa 1760 by the most-renowned local architect John Roberts for John Congreve, the son of a reputed politician and banker.2. Wallpaper was considered the height of desirability and rarity during the Qing Dynasty and was extremely expensive. The French dealer Lazare Duvaux (c. 1703-1758), amidst others, records the sale of six sheets of ‘China paper’ to the Countess of Valentinois in 1756 for 144 livres (Carl L. Crossman, The China Trade, Woodbridge, 1991, p. 390).3. The main subject is that of the sericulture.

Attributed to the PILING SCHOOL (China, Attributed to the Song Dynasty, 13th century)Water birds frolicking on a lotus pondInk and colour on silk96,5 x 151,5 cmNotes:1. According to his owner, that painting was previously signed, but the signature part is now missing. However, it may be attributed to the Song Dynasty as well as to a professional painter of the Piling School situated near Changzhou, Jiangsu Province. The so-called Pilling School had been named for its place of origin. Works of this school may be rightly regarded as folk or popular works and are unsigned.2. Imported from India, the lotus - growing from the slime of a pond, its blossoms blooming unsullied - was linked to Buddhist images of purity and rebirth. By the thirteenth century, naturalistic depictions of lotus in different seasons also evoked the ephemeral nature of physical beauty.3. This painting may be linked with a renowned artist called Gu De-qian (顧徳謙) active during the late 13th century. For a work attributed to this artist with a very similar composition, please revers to a suite of two paintings preserved at the Tokyo National Museum under accession number TA142.丝绸水墨画《水鸟于荷花池嬉戏》归于宋代，13世纪[INTERNET KEYWORDS] CHINA, CHINESE, QING, ANTIQUE, CERAMIC, PORCELAIN, PAINTING, SCROLL, JADE, DYNASTIE, JAPANESE, VIETNAMESECondition Report: Condition report:- missing parts;- tears;- stains.WE HAVE A VERY GOOD AND HIGHLY TRAINED RESTORED IN FRANCE AND WOULD BE HAPPY TO PUT THE BUYER IN TOUCH WITH HER.
