19th Century Chinese Silk Embroidery Panel

Wonderful 19th century embroidery panel made from two vertical pieces of fabric, probably sleeves of old garments. The two pieces are similar but not identical. The embroidery  has been set into a mahogany frame with heavy glass which originally had two handles  ( both now broken off ) so was serving or decorative tray. I would say the frame was around 1900.
The detail to the embroidery  is very impressive as you can see from the pictures.

Size: Including frame, 19 1/2" x 9 1/8". Image 17" x 6 5/8"
Weight before packing: 1440g

Condition: No holes, no tears, colours appear muted but not faded, Handles broken at either end as already mentioned. 
NB please note I will not take out of the frame to post as it is protecting the fabric.
