This large Asian themed textile art piece dates from the 1930 period and displays Southeast Asian style. The rectangular vertical panel consists of a black velvet backing mounted on a wooden frame, finished with a decorative geometric border featuring an elephant pattern surround and metallic thread running throughout. The central scene shows a padded high-relief mythical dragon and tiger rendered in gold silk, metallic thread, and sequins, supplemented by foliage motifs. General age-related wear is present, while the condition remains good and clean overall. The piece measures 144 cm high, 73 cm wide, and 4 cm deep, making it well-suited for display as a feature element on a narrow wall space in a living room, hallway, or study today.

FAQs

Relief embroidery, commonly seen in traditional Burmese and Thai Kalaga tapestries, uses padded cotton or kapok beneath metallic threads and glass beads to produce three-dimensional raised figures against fabric backings.

These textiles traditionally incorporate velvet, silk, or heavy cotton foundations overlaid with brass wire, gold and silver metallic couching threads, sequins, and glass beads filled with internal padding.

Authentic hand-embroidered panels exhibit irregular stitch tension on the reverse side, complex couching work holding metallic threads in place, and hand-applied sequins or glass beads sewn directly into the padded ground.

A vertical textile panel can be mounted inside a modern box frame or hung directly as a textured focal point in entryways, narrow wall alcoves, or above sideboards.

Preserve metallic thread embroideries by keeping them out of direct sunlight, displaying them in low-humidity environments, and mounting them behind UV-protective glass when framed.
