Title: Antique Chinese Embroidery Help
Post by: Artistgew on December 11, 2009, 01:59:42 PM

Hi,

Can anybody tell me a bit about this embroidery? I was told it might be from a traditional ladies skirt, the front panel.
 It measures: 15" x 11". It's clearly silk and just beautiful work.

Thanks.

Nice motif , Artistgew .

Have you looked at the backing fabric yet ?

It's a good one to keep behind glass ( I'm assuming it's in a frame) !

No..... Well I found out that it is from the QING dynasty, prob mid 1800's. Thats all I know right now.
