Chinese decorated paper - 4

Here is yet another example of Chinese decorated paper. Like the last few examples, it is manifestly an imitation of cloth, in this case some form of embroidery, with a pattern of cranes and squiggly lines in white on a dark background.

 

This example would find particular use as an inexpensive substitute of silk for the framing of paintings, or the lining of boxes.

Another Chinese decorated paper. It is printed on very similar stock as the previous example, and is indeed, another imitation of brocade. It was produced around 2011

It is evident that the pattern we see here is an imitation of brocade or silk. Indeed, it may very well be actually be a photograph of some silk.. Judging from the pattern and the thin paper it is printed on, it is of Chinese manufacture. It is of recent date, around 2011.
