Vintage Asian Crane & Lotus Painting ~ Silk

A unique vintage Asian Crane & Lotus Painting in beautiful muted shades of light blue, green and pink tones. Painted in India on Silk with completely naturally-derived pigments, which was likely made for the Asian Market. Approximately from the 1980's.  

Silk painting is an ancient art form originating in China. Artists use fine silk as a canvas, employing specialised brushes to create intricate designs. The smooth surface of silk allows for delicate brushstrokes and subtle color blending, resulting in luminous and detailed artworks. 

Cranes are symbolic in Chinese culture, representing longevity, good fortune, and immortality. Their depiction in art is a common motif, often associated with auspicious meanings and a connection to nature. Floral elements, such as lotus blossoms, also carry symbolic weight, representing beauty, purity, and prosperity.

We recommend to frame the painting in a beautiful gold bamboo frame with a contrast coloured passe-partout. Please get in touch with us if you would like us to get it framed for you, which would get charged extra. 

Please note that this is a vintage piece of art which shows small signs of aging, such as small chips of paint. It is however in good condition with no faults.
