<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 530935, member: 6444&quot;]Always interested in learning about things I don&#039;t know about yet, and this forum has had a couple references to Chinese embroidery, something I had never known anything about before and would have ignored. But I came across these at an estate cleanout, and bought them (for not much money) to try to find out what these are and whether there is any market for these.</p><p><br /></p><p>Both are in the same frames, I assume to be original and I think they are pre-1947 (since there is no area code on the phone number on label on back). I assume not much was coming from China during the war, so these probably date to the 30&#039;s or possibly earlier. Of course they could also be from Japan, maybe someone can tell by the work?</p><p><br /></p><p>Hand-done embroidery on silk. But not the really fine work that is sometimes posted here, so my expectations aren&#039;t high. The first is missing the glass (it was broken so I removed the remaining pieces). Sorry I forgot to measure, but they are around 8-10 inches I think. I&#039;ll measure if it matters.</p><p><br /></p><p>Teach me, please!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]167890[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]167891[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]167892[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]167893[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]167894[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]167895[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
