    I am always looking for pre 1912 Chinese Silk Embroidery especially Civil Servant badges - framed or unframed. I am willing to pay up to $500 for a special piece. I have a cursory knowledge of this art form, so expect any piece that passes my initial examination to be presented to this forum before I will buy.

    Greetings. I don't know that it will meet your parameters, but I have a red silk embroidered Chinese apron/overskirt, of the kind that were worn for special occasions. It is not a fine piece -- it probably belonged to a village girl -- but it has charm. Please let me know if you have any interest -- I am happy to provide pictures.

    Thanks so much for showing me this and taking the time to take such detailed photos. Unfortunately this is not part of my collecting interest.
