<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Potteryplease, post: 4384866, member: 16407&quot;]Hi. I&#039;m hoping someone has some info on these two Chinese embroidered panels. The fronts look old to me and have some sort of narrative reference: in one a women seems to be presenting a baby and in the other the older man is giving an object of some sort. Are they antique and what may have been their purpose?</p><p><br /></p><p>The weird thing is they seem sewn to contemporary cardboard. Huh? Were they removed from something else and then mounted to keep them flat? Is the red thread on the edges not original?</p><p><br /></p><p>They are each about 22 inches across.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you in advance!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]368372[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]368373[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]368374[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]368375[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]368376[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]368377[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]368378[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]368379[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]368380[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
