    This lovely antique Chinese gouache painting is painted on pith paper and dates from the 19th century. This was painted in China for the European market which was enjoying a fascination with all things Chinese and Chinoiserie. 

     

    Pith paper is made from the spongy cellular tissue in the stem of a small tree called Tetrapanax Papyrifera, native to south-west China. Pith is incredibly fragile.

     

    This old Chinese gouache painting has been framed in a later simple gilt frame. 

     

    Condition:

    Some historic water damage to the top right corner of the painting. See photos for more detail.
