This fine example of Chinese two-sided embroidery showcases the skill of the artist, with stitchwork so technically perfect as to be identical from each side, with no evidence of knots. Maple leaves wave over an exotic bird with long tail plumage, with the artist's mark tucked under the spray of leaves. Stretched in a rosewood frame, which swivels to present each side, and which rests on a carved, pierced base, with supports that detach. It all lays flat in the original presentation box, fabric covered and with padded interior. 12.5"W X 12.25"H X 3.75"D; box is 13.75" X 12.25" X 2"H.

Condition: excellent
