Description

A Chinese Gold Ground 'Crane' Rank Badge, Kangxi Period
清康熙 盤金地緙絲一品文官仙鶴補子

Kangxi Period (1622-1722)


Divided vertically, the stylized circular crane rises amidst clouds, mountains, and crashing waves, all against the fine gold-couched background, within continuous foliate borders, framed and glazed.

The high-ranking badges from the 17th and 18th centuries, particularly examples from the Kangxi period (1662–1722), are the most sought-after for their fine gold backgrounds. For a close example sold in Christie's New York, March 25, 2022, Lot 1156.
