Item Details.
A fabulous fine silk embroidered wallhanging dating from around 1900.
Expertly embroidered by hand in China, probably for the European market and most likely intended as a bedcover.
The central roundel is beautiful and has a swirl of bats and butterflies with floral motifs.
This is surrounded by intricately embroidered pumpkins, peonies and floral motifs embroidered in beautiful muted colours onto a rich brown silk satin ground. This would suit a wide variety of interior settings.
Measurements:
182 x 145cm
Condition:
In excellent antique condition, looks like it’s never been used. The embroidery has been fully lined in a deep mustard coloured silk.
