I never cease to be amazed by the collective knowledge that has been contributed by this Message Board. I appreciate the honest advice and opinions given, difficult to find from an individual dealer request for information.
SUBJECT IS: I recently purchased (3)old scrolls on a black background for $100. Will be getting delivery any day now. Took a chance not knowing Chinese/Japanese scrolls, but using my instinct. Anyone got any ideas on this? I will post more quality pics on seals, writing etc, and more specific info on medium. I believe paper on silk . Scrolls are about 72" long. I believe Chinese?? Smart or sucker?? Cost me $100, have to find out and only way to buy them first. Thought might also add interest to the Message Board, and if they are something worthy, you can discover this too.

ANY IDEA OF ARTIST/ DATE MADE. I took possession of the 3 scrolls. Definately 100+ years old. Each one a Landscape with houses(pagodas)? All done by same artist. They are not mounted on anything. Plain handmade paper, with Black/white image directly on paper. Scroll size 13 3/4" x 53 1/2" - image size 11 3/4" x 47 1/4". Genuine old. Fragile ends. Tried to upload new pictures.Unsuccessfully so far.
