25. Embroidered Pillow

A very rare silk pillow finely embroidered, the outer corners showing exquisitely depicted abstract crowns in subtle colours entwined with swirling foliage attached to stylised chrysanthemums and peonies. Each corner of the floral design linking to central symbolic pineapples, a sign of great wealth.

Guangzhou. 18th century.
