A SET OF EIGHT CHINESE WALLPAPER HANGINGS EARLY 19TH CENTURY
Decorated with various birds, butterflies and insects amongst bamboo and trailing flowers, above peony bushes, backed on later paper scrolls, seven with moulded end-strips attached for hanging purposes
106 x 46 in. (269.5 x 117 cm.) (8)
I noticed Christie's have these 8 panels of wallpaper for auction at their sale in London on 14 April, with an estimate of GBP8-12,000. Unfortunately not much additional information about where they were manufactured, but I suspect these things were not so well catalogued for an item that was fairly mundane.
