19th Century Chinese Imperial Guardian Lion Embroidered Panel 

Beautifully hand embroidered, this panel has a large Imperial Guardian Lion set within a cross hatched background and elegant leaf design. The base fabric is cream linen, and the stitching is cream and peach, with black stitched detail to the tongue, nose and claws. 

The panel belonged to my great-grandmother. It was a gift from her husband who purchased it on one of his many trips to China whilst serving in the Merchant Navy. He had a good eye for beautiful Asian antiquities, and I have further items from his travels available in my collection. 

Condition

The panel is in excellent condition. It has been stored in a sealed bag for over 30 years and has no visible damage or wear.

Dimensions and markings

The panel measures 52 cm x 52 cm

There is a tag attached to the side of the panel with LF 1877 and the date it was tagged (and cleaned) as 27.10.13. This is definitely 1913, not 2013!
