Subject:Very Early Chinese Silk Tapestries Needing Information On - Thanks!!

I have (4) Chinese Silk Tapestries that have some Water damage (two are restoreable) that I need any information you Experts may have especially How Old they may be. There is no Signatures or Writing on any of them. Anything would Help! Thank You! Gary Knudtzon

These are Kesi Chinese silk weaving. Also sometimes referred to as Kossu. These are late Qing or early Republic. Made for export. Medium quality. Unusual subject matter. They have value, but yours are in bad shape--faded and water damage. They would have originally been very bright with vibrant colors. Check eBay and search for Kesi in "completed auctions" regarding latest wholesale values. Also lots available on Google.

Really Appreciate your Help! I am not much into them Money wise and had some nice Scroll Paintings that came with them also. Thank You Again! Sincerely, Gary Knudtzon
