You can hang a Magpie Plum Blossom scroll anywhere and it will find its own light. The longer you live with it, the more it gives back. It does not compete with the room; it completes it. There is an honesty to it that cheaper decor cannot copy.
Silk takes the ink differently than paper, and you can see it in the gentle color transitions. Small accents around the bamboo complete the scene. Calligraphy is given pride of place, and rightly so. Colorful gongbi is what lends the scroll its distinctive voice. In the language of Chinese art, the calligraphy speaks of the scholar's craft, practiced stroke by stroke.
For calligraphy art for the home, it is an instant upgrade in character. As Chinese New Year home decor, it is the rare safe choice that still feels personal. In short, this Magpie Plum Blossom scroll is easy to live with and hard to tire of.
