Antique Fine Silk Embroidery with Flowers Wallhanging: C19th China
Fine museum worthy antique silk embroidery with flowers.
This is one of the finest of its type that we have had in the studio. Dating from the late 19th/early 20th century, China, we think this was probably made for export.
The detailing in the flowers, foliage and grasses is superb, and has been worked by a professional embroiderer.
Worked in fine coloured silk threads against a black silk satin ground which really makes the embroidery glow.
This panel would benefit by being stretched and mounted, a service we offer from our dedicated textile conservation studio in the Cotswolds. Please ask us for details.
Measurements:
149 x 57cm
Condition:
In excellent condition, looks almost like its never been used, and we think it may have been carefully packed away. The colours of the embroidery look as bright as they were the day it was made.
