The use of ‘antiques’ as decoration in Chinese art was a popular theme in the Qing dynasty, especially in the Kangxi period due to the Kangxi Emperor’s interest in archaism. Three small kesi panels with similar groupings of
‘antiques’ and fowers in the Amy S. Clague Collection of Chinese Textiles are illustrated by C. Brown in Weaving China’s Past, The Phoenix Art Museum, Seattle, 2000, pp. 88-91, no. 14. Brown suggests that these kesi panels were likely made for New Year’s celebrations because of the association of fnger citron, plum blossoms, orchid and osmanthus with New Year motifs. As these motifs are also on the present panel, it may also have been made for the celebration of the New Year.
A related kesi hanging scroll, dated to the Qianlong period and, similarly decorated with shaped panels of ‘antiques’ and fowers, is in the National Palace Museum collection and is illustrated in Catalogue of the Special Exhibition of Kesi Textiles (kesi tezhan tulu), National Palace Museum, Taiwan, 1989, no. 31. ‘Antiques’ similar to those on the present carpet are often included on the borders of Chinese coromandel screens. An example of a screen with a border decorated with similar ‘antiques’ formerly in the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, was sold at Christie’s New York, 17-18 March 2016, lot 1328.
