Start price: £10

A Chinese silk embroidered panel depicting the traditional Hundred Boys (Baizi Tu) theme, likely from the late 19th or early 20th century. The horizontal scene is executed in polychrome silk threads on a pale gold silk ground, featuring numerous boys engaged in various playful activities, including games around tall vertical poles and amidst stylized garden elements such as bamboo and flowering cherry branches. The embroidery utilizes satin stitch and long and short stitch to define the figures and landscape. The central embroidered field is bordered by a narrow decorative textile band, set within a wider silk damask mount featuring a repeated geometric lattice pattern. The piece is presented in a glazed gilt-wood frame with a dark-stained outer edge. A white adhesive auction label on the glass reads Lot 927 and another smaller label at the lower left reads 873.
