Catalogue Note
The use of the 'hundred boys' motif on an originally red ground and the large scale of the panels suggest that these panels originally formed part of the trappings for a marriage bed. Compare two embroidered red satin panels depicting the 'hundred boys' motif attributed to the Guangxu period, illustrated in Textiles and Embroideries of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The Complete Treasures of the Palace Museum, Hong Kong, 2005, nos. 251, 252, pp. 230-231. For an early 20th century example of a valence depicting the 'hundred boys' theme, see Robert D. Jacobsen, Imperial Silks. Ching Dynasty Textiles in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Hong Kong, 2000, no. 518, p. 1043.
