錢江六和塔 [Qianjiang Liuhe ta]. [Liuhe Pagoda on Qianjiang].

Hangzhou. 中國杭州都錦生絲織廠制. [Dujin Silk Factory], No date. (circa 1955). Stock ID #155308

Handcoloured silk jacquard panorama of the West Lake in Hangzhou. Measures 27.5 x 120cm. Lightly frayed at ends, a very good copy.

Silk jacquard weavings such as these were very popular in China from the mid to late 20th century as tourist souvenirs. It appears likely that this particular example was woven in the 1950s as traditional Chinese characters have been used and the Dujin Silk Factory where it was made, changed its name to Dongfang Hongsi in 1966. The Dujin Silk Factory was well known in Hangzhou and beyond. It was originally established in 1922 and entered public-private joint management in the 1950s. Unfortunately it now no longer exists.
