Hand embroidered peacocks in silk thread on silk background: Matted and framed, this piece of wall art measures a total of 19" x 16" (48 x 41 cm), with the inside dimensions proportionally smaller. Dating from the 1980s, it features 5 Chinese characters (artist's name?). It also features a 2 stunning peacocks and a flower embellished branch.
The colors of the silk floss are vibrant, and the skill of the artist apparent. However there are a couple of age related issues to mention.
There is a bit of mild discoloration on the background to the right of the writing (photo 3). There are a couple of feint horizontal lines which are only noticeable up close when looking for them. They appear to be (guidelines ?) on the backing behind the silk.
The piece is in otherwise very good vintage condition with no pulled threads. There are a few wear marks on the frame and matting which are made of solid wood. There is an eyelet on the back.
A lovely addition to a den or library, and Asian themed room a boudoir, and more.
