<p>[QUOTE=&quot;buyjunksellantiques, post: 64105, member: 658&quot;]I&#039;m a newbie here, so ya&#039;ll don&#039;t&nbsp; know me but I am a confessed fabric and anything that has to do with hand sewing HOARDER! I&#039;ve seen this lovely work before and a lot of the answers and input on this thread is excellent. But can I add my two cents worth? It&#039;ll on cost you a penny &lt;teehee&gt;. Hand embroidery on SILK particularly on Japanese and Chinese silk was an obsessive craze from the colonial era to the Victorian era! Some pieces of embroidery on silk command six figure dollar signs! I&#039;m more into quilting and not so much embroidery, but silk embroidery that is from WWI and WWII time periods (such as the looks of these lovely pieces from WWII) bring about $80 - $300 to clothing designers and vintage clothing collectors.</p><p>The best way to find out for sure is to go online to either pintrest or google Japanese silk embroidery and look at the images that come up. Find one that is close to your&#039;s and go to the sight. Or visit vintage embroidery boards and search their data bases.</p><p>I know that sounds like a lot of work, but these are lovely pieces and if I owned them, I&#039;d want to do the hunting to find out about them.</p><p>Hope I didn&#039;t bore you all to tears.</p><p>As always ... I buy junk and sell antiques[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
