Featured Characters on back of Antique Chinese Silk Embroidery

You may recognize this antique Chinese Silk Embroidery, originally posted by @kraftblue, who kindly let me acquire it. When I took it in for framing and protection, I discovered a couple of tiny characters and a faded stamp on the back. My question is this a signature or does it have another meaning.

Calling @Silver Wolf @JayBee @Luis1026

 

Wonderful that you got this beauty, Kiko. It is right up your alley.

I think none of our Chinese translators have been around for a while (S. Wolf, I miss you). If no one surfaces, you could try here:

There are many Chinese there. They can usually tell you something about mainstream Chinese and Japanese art as well.

(As long as you don't stray off the beaten path, like tribal Chinese, Japanese Ainu, Indonesia, fans, etc.)

 

I wanted it as soon as I saw it. I have one sleeve end just like it but with only four claws - it was the first antique Chinese embroidery I bought after seeing my first dragon robe exhibit. It is Qing according to the expert. The new one I think is earlier in that period and has five claws. Five claws!
Thank you for the link, I'll try it if no one responds here. Speaking of fans, if I saw one at a very reasonable price that appeared to be an antique would you be interested or do you specialize? I see them on occasion, nothing special yet, but I always think of you. We are a major international port here, so things come from all over.

 

Antique fans are always of interest to me, and thank you so much for thinking of me. I'd love to see it.

 

Take it from someone who knows, she is hopeless when it comes to old fans.

 

Ah ha. Now I know her weakness. Thanks.

 

And she has a lot of old fans here!

 

I think she has a couple more, but I have firsthand knowledge of this one in particular.

 

You mean this one?



Which you so very kindly alerted me to, and arranged the bidding and shipment, you're a treasure!

 

I can see you now. Batting your eyes coquettishly behind your beautiful fan. Good work Peggy.

 

And wearing my avatar's mask.

 

That's a even better image!

 

This category is not one I look in on daily. I am not sure why i even did yesterday. I just thought it was funny that when I did I found a post dicussing fans.

How is the restoration process going on the pitiful one?

 

With me it is usually fans, keris, or dragons. I bore people to distraction with that unusual threesome.

 

Boring never! Hysterically funny - often!
