Chinese Fabric Applique Wall Art
A one-of-a-kind textile artwork. Once sold, it cannot be recreated.
A powerful depiction of a Humen coastal defense cannon — the very fortifications that guarded the Pearl River Delta during the Opium War era. Crafted in layered cotton, linen, and silk.
Humen (虎门) is where Commissioner Lin Zexu famously destroyed British opium in 1839. This piece honors that legacy.
This cannon represents the coastal defense fortifications of Humen (虎门), a historic town in Guangdong. Humen was the frontline of China's resistance against British opium imports in the 19th century. The weathered iron of the cannon stands as a reminder of China's determination to defend its sovereignty.
A meaningful piece for history enthusiasts, collectors of military heritage, or anyone with ties to Guangdong's coastal region.
Layered cotton and linen in deep charcoal, gunmetal grey, and rust tones recreate the weathered iron of a Qing Dynasty cannon. The fabric is deliberately frayed at the edges to suggest corrosion and age, while the cannon barrel is built up in relief with multiple fabric layers.
Ideal for a study, library, or office with historical character. Also meaningful for collectors of Chinese history, military heritage, or anyone with personal ties to Guangdong.
Because every fabric piece is selected, cut, and stitched by hand, the same artwork can never be recreated exactly. Small differences in fabric texture, color, and hand stitching make each piece unique.
