Title: Antique Chinese painting? Silk Screen?
Post by: Packman on June 28, 2013, 02:11:16 PM

A couple of painting from my mother. I know they are at least 50 years old and probably older.

The one of the emperoress is very nice, but there is no signature.

The others have symbols and/or sigs but I don't know what they are.

Any idea on value or additional information would be great.

These are the only pics I have at he moment.

Also...I'm posting these from an iPad. They may appear sideways. If you click on it, it should straighten out.

Not sure why. I had all the lights on.

The glass in the frame has like a satin finish.

Would like to see the top pic in natural daylight and a clear shot !! Need to see more detail !! Bottom three are pretty typical of the silk screens made to be sold here at department stores ect !! Top one is what I would guess to be the better one !!

It may be a day or two before I have time to get it outside and take some pictures of it.

Bottom two are in a style similar to that of Pu Ru ( as he is sometimes referred to ) but not of that quality. I'll see if i can work out the seal.

Being honest, i forgot  :-[

I'll have a crack at it tomorrow. Think it's fairly generic but always best to check
