The luxurious, vibrant teal-blue silk foundation is completely covered with meticulous, fine embroidery in a classic Chinese style. Each panel features layered motifs: central fields of chrysanthemums (symbols of autumn and longevity) and peonies (symbols of wealth and honor), surrounded by a richly detailed border of clouds, waves, and mythical creatures (like the stylized crane). The intricacy of the Forbidden Stitch or satin stitch used here signifies the highest level of courtly craftsmanship. Presented as a matched diptych, these textiles represent the pinnacle of antique Chinese artistry.
The vibrant jewel tones, fine silk material, and symmetrical presentation make this pair a breathtaking addition to a luxury home. They are perfectly suited for Traditional, Transitional, and High-End Chinoiserie interiors. Hang the panels vertically, side-by-side, above a long console, buffet, or credenza. The matching sizes and complementary designs create a formal diptych that anchors the room with color and history, providing the elegance of a gallery wall with a single installation. The artwork is professionally matted in a neutral tone and framed in a clean black frame, which allows the exquisite texture and vibrant colors of the blue silk and the embroidery to truly shine.

As genuine Antique Qing Dynasty textiles, the silk and its components proudly display the natural character, subtle color softening, and minute thread wear that authenticate their history. These signs of age are celebrated as genuine patina. See less
