Vintage Chinese Double Sided Silk Embroidery Fish And Bird/ Vintage Asian Home Decor, Carved Wooden Screen

Beautiful vintage wood table screen with silk embroidered. Double-sided embroidery is a special art from China. A pattern is stitched with fine silk threads onto the back and front of a translucent fabric. The skilful embroidery technique leaves no trace of thread ends or joinings, so it is impossible to tell the difference between the front and back sides. The embroidered birds and the floral fabric is sandwiched by two glass panels in a rotating circular frame. The frame slips into a hole in the wooden stand to make a free-standing screen. The legs and frame are detachable and all break down for storage into a fabric-covered box. You could put this screen anywhere as an object of beauty in your home and it would make a great gift.
