F0384 Sichuan Embroidery Art Panels. Satin and Silk. Framed. Mid-1900s. Chengdu Sichuan Province. China
There are four major styles of silk art embroidery with Sichuan (Shu Xiu) being the oldest. The emphasis - for this style - is on even stitching, coloration and local creativity.
These are exquisite pieces that could be re-framed or left "as is" to hang and enjoy. I really like their antique gold frame.
Circa mid-1900s and still in excellent condition. The detail is stunning.
Composition: Satin with silk threads. Wood frame with glass.
Overall: 22.5” x 9.75”. Figures are about 10” tall.
I have been a collector for over 60 years and have spent this time searching for the most unique, wonderous and culturally-significant pieces from far off places like Africa, Middle East, South & Southeast Asia, Central & South America and the Oceania Islands. Most were acquired from the country of origin and/or from avid collectors. All that I know about the item - through provenance or my own research - is shown in the listing. It’s now time for me to thin out my collection. I am sure you will enjoy this item and its history as much as I have.
