<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 4617509, member: 8363"]I don't think this is an antique Chinese silk embroidery. The ribbon along the edge is of the same embroidery as the main subject. The ribbons were first applied because the silk embroidery was cut from clothing of the wealthy and Imperial classes' clothing. They needed a ribbon to hold the frayed edges. The edge of this piece is embroidered to appear to be a ribbon.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
