<p>[QUOTE="Luis, post: 366851, member: 4602"]Hello,</p><p><br /></p><p>I was doing treasure hunting this past weekend and I managed to find this beautiful embroidery in silk. This is a very large item <i>(length x width in inches): 114.2 x 55.1. I am currently selling it, however I would like to request your expert input on estimating the age and use of this large item. The embroidery is made on a large red silk fabric at the back there is a cloth cover (pale red). I don tknow if this would be suitable for hanging on a large wall or as a cover for a piano. I believe this is late 19th Century, I have never seen such a large piece like this before and the quality of the embroidery as you can see is very good.
