There are four major styles of silk art embroidery with Sichuan (Shu Xiu) being the oldest.  The emphasis – for this style –  is on even stitching, coloration and local creativity.  Antique gold frame.

 

These are exquisite pieces that could be re-framed or left “as is” to hang and enjoy.  The glass on each could use a cleaning.

Circa mid-1900s and still in excellent condition.
