Description

A KESI SILK ‘BIRTHDAY’ PANEL, CHINA, 19TH CENTURY
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Of rectangular form, finely woven with roundels enclosing Shou characters, each containing a pair of swastikas (wan), encircled by five bats (wu fu), reserved against a wan key-fret ground.

Provenance: Galerie Hardt (established in 1976), Radevormwald, Germany, before 2020. Acquired by the gallery’s founder Peter Hardt (b. 1946) during his extensive travels in Asia, the first of which occurred during a formative world tour in 1973. Throughout his storied career, Peter Kienzle-Hardt organized countless exhibitions and participated in major international art fairs. He made many important contacts during this time and eventually met the Kienzle siblings, who shared his passion for Asian art and culture. A strong bond and deep friendship developed, ultimately leading to the creation of the Museum für Asiatische Kunst decades later in 2014. While the museum’s permanent exhibition predominantly comprised pieces from the Kienzle Family Collection, Peter Kienzle-Hardt supplemented it with objects from his own collection. Before his death in 2019, Horst Kienzle bequeathed his entire property to Peter and legally adopted him as his son, who has been using the name Peter Kienzle-Hardt ever since.
Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and light soiling. The frame with few nicks and small surface scratches.

Dimensions: Size 106 x 94 cm (incl. frame)

Mounted and framed behind glass. (2)

The combination of bats and Shou characters was reserved for use by the Emperor and his innermost family circles during the Ming dynasty, and retained its Imperial connection throughout the Qing dynasty.

Combined with bats, homophone for happiness fu, the Shou characters, symbolizing longevity, represent the rebus 'May you live happy for eternity', fushou. In addition, the combination of Shou and double wan from the rebus Wan Wan Shou signifies 'May you live for 10,000 years', which was the Imperial birthday greeting for the Emperor.

Literature comparison:
