China Trade Set of Twelve Botanical Flower Pith Paper Paintings,
Decoupage Frames,
Circa 1840.
The set of twelve fine paintings of flowers on pith paper with original silks within beautiful decoupage frames
These most delicate and detailed pictures were painted on thin, brittle and almost translucent paper made from the fibrous pith of the Chinese tongcao plant (common name). This material in the past was called rice paper which is a misnomer- it is now called pith paper.
