[QUOTE="Luis, post: 389149, member: 4602"]Hello Again, I found this incredible Chinese embroidery; it looks to me that it is a real work of art! The interesting thing (at least for me) is that it is made on a very thin layer of yellow silk, which is attached (glued most likely) to a soft cardboard. At first inspection, I thought that parts of it were painted, but taking a closer look, it made me realize that all of the work was finely done in silk. You can really appreciate the shades of the branches and of the flowers finely done with very thin silk threads. Any idea in estimating the age of this beauty? Also, as with most Chinese art, any idea on its meaning? Thanks ahead for your valuable input!
