[Blue Tashi Yarn with String Pattern]
Blue Tashi Yarn with String Pattern, Qing Guangxu, with a width of 71.5cm. European weaving
Yarn material blue, similar to the so-called royal blue in the Qing Dynasty. The decoration is a string of flowers and fruits, similar to liana plants. This yarn material is based on a plain weave and is only twisted within the leaf pattern to form a yarn hole
Taixi means “extreme west”, which is a generic term for overseas European and American countries in the Ming and Qing dynasties. In the late Qing Dynasty, yarn satin imported from overseas or imitated domestically with Western decorative styles and weaving techniques were all named Taixi. As for this piece, the yarn design is significantly different from traditional Chinese clothing. It is obviously suitable for Western cut clothing, with only sand holes in the leaf pattern that are transparent
