China, late Qing dynasty (1644-1912) Five pairs of rank badges for civil servants, buzi (known as mandarin squares), decorated with birds (goose, silver pheasant, two golden pheasants, etc.), embroidered with polychrome silk thread, metallic thread and glass beads, on black or brown evening, one pair embroidered on silk gauze. 31.5 x 33 the largest; 30 x 28.5; 30 x 31 cm; 31 cx 29; 30 x 29 cm Some loose threads Provenance: Despite the absence of documents illustrating the provenance of this set, we know that the sellers' paternal great-aunt was a music teacher in Hanoi. Their maternal grandmother worked at the Hanoi Museum after the death of her husband. The works presented today are probably souvenirs brought back to France by one or other of them.
