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.
