A hand-embroidered silk panel created in 1890 by Ethel Thom, daughter of local wealthy cotton manufacturers in Blackburn, Lancashire. The square Chinoiserie wall art measures 130 cm high, 138 cm wide, and 4 cm deep, and sits inside a gilded wooden frame under glass. Set against a cream silk ground, the textile displays a central circular bamboo medallion encircled by embroidered butterflies and floral sprays, complemented by corner floral motifs and a patterned border in shades of blue, orange, brown, and green. Display the framed piece in a traditional home interior, specifically positioned above a sideboard to bring colour and texture to a living room, dining area, or hallway wall. The combination of delicate needlework and a reflective glass front provides a striking focal point for wall spaces seeking a classic English country house decorative accent.

FAQs

Hand-embroidered silk panels originated in East Asia, where silk needlework was refined over centuries as a decorative art form. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, many panels were created for export to European markets, where they became integral to Chinoiserie interior decoration.

Authentic panels utilise woven silk ground fabrics stitched with silk thread, employing techniques such as satin stitch, seed stitch, and fine line work. The textile is mounted onto a firm backing and enclosed in a glazed wood or gilded frame for structural protection.

Authentic hand-embroidered panels feature slight natural variations in stitch length, subtle colour tonal shifts in the thread, and hand-tied knots visible on the reverse side. Machine-made imitations display uniform stitching and perfectly synthetic thread textures.

Position the framed textile as a central feature above a sideboard, mantelpiece, or console table to contrast intricate detailed motifs against clean architectural lines. Pairing fine embroidery with solid timber furniture highlights the texture and lustre of the silk.

Mount the artwork behind UV-filtering glass and display it away from direct sunlight and humidity sources to prevent fibre degradation and colour fading. Avoid cleaning the silk directly, maintaining the frame exterior with a dry dust cloth.
