I haven't been able to find out the meaning or time period of these matching badges and was wondering if anyone knew? These are 10.5" by 12.5" each (including border detail).
Chinese embroidery similar to a rank badge (Buzi) | ||
| Asian Antiques1 of 10167 |  |  |
mnemonics waki
the chinese representation of the Ashtamangala the eight buddhist symbols
flaming wheel= delusion crusher = wheel of life
twin fish conjugal felicity
endless knot , probably used in the longevity meaning
and a vase not used in the daiost meaning of the Lan CAihe , because we are in the symbols and not in the emblems
IMO opinion we are in the or not any the BUZI or any type of HYUNGBAE
the shape is off , BUZI are stand-alone symbolisme,like cranes and shihi etc
the swastika aint a swastika it is actually the reprsentatation of infinite ( 10000)and sometimes additional conjunction bliss
it is not used for stylising purposes other you got the repetioton
the strange thing is IMO it is not a wedding design or wedding wall hanging
because it is highly unlikely to conjungate among different type of species
what the hell is the purpose of a deer here??, we are not in a rural or an Yongzheng styling steal
application is rather strange , we are not in an so called Beijjing interwaving .it is almost pastel
the lack of couch gilt and the probably black satin border and the presence and the presence of buddhist symbols IMO shuts out the republic period
Well i don,t know precisely, and even Bonhams , left it undefined some type so who am i , as a rooky
so i stick to an ABSOLUTE GUESS, late 19 century, superb tonality, good stuff with to me a very confusing , social antroposohical meaning ,sort of feel good scene ?
correction BONhams did not define ( and date this type of simular ware) probably the spread is too wide
Thank you Apostata, that is very informative. I appreciate you taking the time to respond. Cheers, and have a wonderful day, Jeff
If anyone is interested, I was told that these are the front embroidery panels associated with certain skirts of the Qing Dynasty. Still not sure about the meanings besides the information Apostata was able to provide but at least I know what it is. Cheers
