An interesting sample of antique chinese embroidery of peonies with a butterfly and bat, in satin stitch and Peking/French knots in shades of blue and white. Executed on paper, which was subsequently dissolved, leaving the embroidery as an applique, ready to be affixed to another fabric. Measures about 8 1/4" x 9 1/4". Some slight discolouration / fading to silk threads (see photos). Yes, I do ship to the United States!
