Pair of Antique Chinese Qing Embroidered Pillows with Scalamandre Border/Backing.

The embroidery dates from the mid 1800's and is silk on silk with gold metal thread "couching".

Heavily hand-embroidered and meticulous in craftsmanship. 

The embroidery was properly stored for decades and therefore retains beautiful colors and does not have fading or stains.

In the late 1990's the embroidery was created into these custom designed pillows using pure silk vintage Italian Scalamandre fabric on front and back.  The pillow inserts are down.

Each pillow measures 22" x 15"
