A LARGE KESI 'PEACH FESTIVAL' PANEL, QING DYNASTYChina, Wenzhou, Zhenjiang province, 18th-19th century. Finely woven in bright colors on a red ground with a lively scene depicting the festival. Xiwangmu, the Queen Mother of the West, descends from the sky astride her phoenix as the immortals eagerly await her arrival, amid swirling clouds, gnarled peach trees, and craggy rockwork, all below an image of the Buddha surrounded by four cranes in flight.Expert's note: The addition of the Buddha, which is prominently placed at the top center of the composition, is a rare and unusual feature of this panel, as the subject matter is Daoist. It is highly likely that the work was a special commission commemorating a birthday celebration, and as such, this Buddha would have reflected a particularly pious recipient.Provenance: French trade. Condition: Magnificent condition with only very minor wear, little soiling, minimal creasing, and few loose threads. Must be regarded as exceedingly rare in this pristine state of preservation.Dimensions: ca. 250 x 112 cmThe Peach Festival is a popular Daoist theme associated with the birthday celebration of Xiwangmu, who has the sole authority to grant Peaches of Eternal Life and bestow celebrants of the festival with great fortune. According to legend, the festival is held at the Jade Palace in the Kunlun Mountains in the Western paradise and only takes place every 3000 years. Here, groups of Immortals are pictured waiting in anticipation for Xiwangmu, who gracefully arrives on a phoenix. The auspicious message of this theme made the present panel suitable for presentation at important festivities.Kesi, which means 'cut silk', derives from the visual illusion of cut threads that is created by distinct, unblended areas of color, as the weft threads are woven into each color and then cut. The earliest surviving examples of kesi tapestries date to the Tang dynasty (618-907), although the technique was already used earlier in wool and became widely applied only during the Song dynasty (1127-1379). The fragment of a kesi tapestry was recovered in a tomb of a man and his wife in Dulan, Qinghai province, who died in 633 and 688 respectively, and another also excavated in Dulan, was included in the exhibition “China, Dawn of a Golden Age” at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 2005, cat. no. 245. During the Ming dynasty (1368-1644), kesi panels enjoyed a rise in popularity and thrived under the Qing emperors.During the Qing dynasty (1644-1911), official weaving workshops were established both in the palace and in the cities of Jiangning, Suzhou and Hangzhou, in order to cater to the court's increasing demand for palace and temple furnishings, clothing and presentation silks for civil and military officials. Specialized centers of production soon developed around this area, such as the city of Wenzhou, Zhenjiang province, which became particularly famous for its luxurious kesi tapestries.Literature comparison: Compare a related kesi panel depicting the 'Peach Festival' on a red ground, in the Liaoning Provincial Museum, Shenyang, included in the Hong Kong Oriental Ceramic Society exhibition Heaven's Embroidered Cloths.
