Antique Late Qing Dynasty Chinese Silk Embroidery (circa 1850–1900)
This exquisite antique Chinese silk embroidery, dating to the late Qing Dynasty (circa 1850–1900), showcases masterful hand-stitching on premium mulberry silk. The central design features two large chrysanthemums, rendered in rich blue, soft purple, and green with intricate layering, complemented by smaller flowers and buds with natural color transitions. A single phoenix, its feathers embroidered in blue, green, and purple gradients with downward-sweeping tail feathers, graces the lower center, harmonizing with the floral motifs.
The design includes long, oval leaves and graceful, slender branches in green and teal gradients, arranged with balanced spacing to mimic natural growth. The inner border features red and blue geometric floral bands, while the outer deep brown satin border displays symmetrical blue floral or eight-treasure patterns. This rectangular piece, with its well-proportioned borders, suits use as a table runner, wall hanging, or decorative accent. Reflecting its age, minor wear enhances its authentic appeal—no major damage observed. Photos are part of the description, so please review them carefully.
