- Lot Description
East Asia, China / Tibet, Qing Dynasty, ca. 19th century CE. A beautiful patchwork textile panel composed of embroidered silk squares, bordered by four large rectangular sections. The silk threads are applied using couching stitches - a technique in which threads are laid across the fabric's surface and secured with small, perpendicular stitches in a contrasting hue. This method allows for smooth, continuous lines and intricate detail. The textile is primarily adorned with floral and foliate motifs, with a small fu bat - an auspicious symbol of good fortune - appearing in the lower right blue square. Patchwork and quilted textiles incorporating embroidery have been produced in China for centuries, often for ceremonial or decorative purposes. Given its size and design, this piece may have originally served as an altar cloth. Size of textile: 32.75" L x 33" W (83.2 cm x 83.8 cm); frame: 36.5" L x 37" W (92.7 cm x 94 cm)
This piece was owned by James Coburn, an American actor known for his roles in films like "The Magnificent Seven" and "Our Man Flint", celebrated for his distinctive voice and commanding screen presence. His residence's interior decor was a direct reflection of Coburn's profound interest in Eastern mysticism. The rooms were filled with Asian antiques, custom lighting, and intricate screens, all working together to create an atmosphere of serene elegance.
Provenance: private Valley Glen, California, USA collection; ex-James Coburn estate.

#193431Textile has fading from age and sun exposure. Some losses to embroidery, but silk panels are intact and well preserved. Mounted years ago in a frame. The textile corners are beginning to detach from the mounting surface due to adhesive failure. Additionally, there is a significant accumulation of dust and debris on the reverse side of the frame and throughout the piece. We recommend carefully removing the textile, thoroughly cleaning both the mounting board and the frame, and then remounting the textile using conservation-appropriate methods.Condition
