Crane peony fills this silk scroll with charm and quiet movement. The first thing that catches the eye is a crane at rest. As chinese flower and bird painting goes, a crane turning its head gives this one real presence.
Two details: sprays of peony, and delicate pine. Look closely and you will find softly rendered rock. Traditionally, the peony is a symbol of wealth and honor. Its tall, narrow shape fits spaces where wide frames cannot. It feels personal, as if chosen rather than bought. You could hang this in any decade and it would look right.
Anyone hunting for traditional chinese wall art will find this crane peony scroll worth a close look. For devotees of silk scroll wall hanging, peony in bloom offers something to return to. A kind gift for parents or grandparents with an eye for tradition. It works as well in a hallway gallery as in a main room.
