AN EMBROIDERED YELLOW SILK POUCH, LATE QING DYNASTY
晚清黃地五福壽紋刺綉荷包

Sold for €260

including Buyer's Premium


Lot details

China, early 19th century. The sachet made from yellow silk and embroidered with a prominent shou medallion amongst numerous auspicious symbols such as bats, butterflies, chimes and lingzhi clouds. With a pleated drawstring top, the neck tied with a pair of strings.

Provenance: From a private collection, Texas, USA.
Condition: Some wear and loose threads, and some minor splits to the silk mostly at the pleated drawstring section. Overall good condition commensurate with age. The colors still fresh and crisp.

Dimensions: Length 12.1 cm, Height 7.6 cm

Drawstring purses affirm the nomadic origin of the Manchu, as they probably developed from carrying purses made of leather which often contained pieces of flint needed to strike a flame, fundamental to the Manchu way of life. Silk pouches formed an essential part of the outfit worn by the highest-ranking members of Qing society. These small containers were often suspended from court belts, chaodai, serving as receptacles containing daily necessities, such as aromatic items, tobacco, and other small objects.

Auction result comparison: Compare a pair of related ‘Dragon’ purses, dated to the 19th century, of similar size (11.5 cm), at Bonhams in Fine Chinese Art - Including Imperial and Court Textiles Curated by Linda Wrigglesworth on 2 November 2021, lot 277, sold for GBP 5,355.
