Three Chinese embroidered textiles in Bakelite frames, 1950s

Three Chinese embroidered textiles, the two larger showing scenes with pagodas from the West Lake, Hangzhou and the smaller the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests within the Temple of Heaven complex, Beijing. Similar images can be found with a maker’s name displayed at the side, the Jinsheng Silk Weaving Co Ltd, Hangzhou, China and these colourful textile designs were doubtless made as tourist souvenirs. The frames are Bakelite, coloured brown in imitation of wood, and can sometimes be seen elsewhere with a label reading ‘MADE IN HONG KONG FABRIQUE’ AU HONG KONG’; one carries a British registration mark ‘1006697’ which again appears elsewhere. The use of Bakelite for the frames suggests a dating to the 1950s and other similar textile images seem also to have been made at that time. As a set, this group is a quaint souvenir of the ‘Land of Cathay’ with a distinctively mid century feel.
