FAQs

Chinese silk embroidery has a history spanning over two thousand years, originating during the Neolithic period and reaching high artistic peaks during the Ming and Qing dynasties for both imperial court use and international trade.

Authentic pieces typically feature finely spun silk thread stitched onto a silk or satin ground fabric, often utilising a variety of specialized needlework stitches to create depth, texture, and naturalistic shading.

Authenticity is determined by examining the fineness of the stitch work, the use of natural silk threads that exhibit a soft lustre, hand-painted details where applicable, and the presence of traditional mounting and framing techniques.

These panels work well as focal points on neutral walls, paired with minimalist or classic furnishings that allow the intricate craftsmanship and subtle colour palette to stand out without visual competition.

To preserve silk textiles, keep them away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and fibre degradation, maintain stable indoor humidity levels, and ensure they are professionally framed behind UV-protective glazing.
