Rare 19th Century Chinese Silk Kesi Textile “Two Men Playing Checkers” Taoist:
$400.00
We are pleased to offer this rare 19th-century silk Kesi textile for sale, depicting two men playing checkers. This textile is in excellent condition; in over 45 years in the antique and art business, we have come across only a handful of pieces of this quality. It comes from an estate in St. Louis and has been part of a family collection since 1908. I have seen textiles of this age and quality sell for several thousand dollars at sale. The light spots in the photos are from reflections; there are no holes or damage to the textile. If you have any questions, please message us.
