<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Goodykoontz, post: 11966763, member: 82566&quot;]thank you, i&#039;ve looked at that.&nbsp; it was, according to my research, during that period that the aesthetic was changing in China from swirling abstract art to more realistic depictions of things.&nbsp; it was also during that period that embroidery techniques were changing.&nbsp; i, too, am having a problem with how bold the colors are on my piece.&nbsp; but, if you look closely at the picture i&#039;ve provided of the upper right corner flower you do see some localized fading.&nbsp; also there&#039;s an area running along the top, across the entire piece, where the backing fabric is worn unevenly and at a couple of points to thread.&nbsp; also, there are multiple small stains to be found along the outer margins.&nbsp; what i&#039;ve imagined is some poor seamstress, back in the 1930s or 40s,&nbsp; sitting at a sewing machine with piles of old embroidery art, and her job is to figure out a way to repackage all of this stuff in these little panels with nice new borders to make money for her boss.&nbsp; you don&#039;t really notice the damages on this piece unless you look closely, but this could be old.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
