FAQs

A rank badge, also known as a mandarin square, was an embroidered patch sewn onto the official robes of civil and military officials during the Ming and Qing dynasties to indicate their social standing.

These pieces were typically crafted using fine silk grounds, accented with metallic gold and silver threads, and executed through intricate needlework techniques such as Peking knot and satin stitch.

Authenticity is generally determined by examining the fineness of the hand-stitched needlework, the natural ageing of the silk fibres, the quality of the metallic thread, and the traditional iconography used.

Framed behind conservation-grade glass, such pieces serve as striking wall art that adds historical depth, texture, and cultural sophistication to modern or traditional rooms.

To protect delicate silk and metallic threads from deterioration, items should be kept away from direct sunlight, maintained in stable humidity conditions, and framed using acid-free archival materials.
