Included in this lot is a finely made framed Asian Silk Embroidery. This appears to be a Chinese silk embroidery due to the lack of common Japanese art floral and geometric patterns such as Sakura and Seigaiha. The art of embroidery was widespread throughout China in the Han Dynasty (BC 206 – AD 220). Four distinctive styles, or schools, of embroidery emerged at that time, though each would reach their pinnacle after the blossoming of the Silk Road trade created a demand for Chinese goods. The age-old brocade style developed over the aeons in the Chengdu area is the Shu brocade style. The Shu brocade style is one of the four famous brocade styles of China. They are richly colorful and complex in pattern. This Silk embroidery shows very intricate hand stitching with colourful and bright hues of the peacocks and flowers. The embroidery is in good condition, no obvious damage noted, gold gilt trimmed wood frame is in good condition with scuffing and scratches noted. Measures 15.75"W x 21.75"L, visible art 13.5"W x 19.5"L approximately.
