Three pieces of Chinese silk work
Three pieces of Chinese silk work including a finely embroidered double sided bag with crane over water; a 19th century silk purse, uncut, on a gauze; and a small silk doll's tunic.Condition Report Bag: One face of the bag has a heavily sewn seam down the middle, dissecting the crane, which we assume to be a repair. Multiple patches of wear and tearing to the stitching on both sides, mostly surrounding the emblematic elements, and the blue silk lining shows through. Some staining and fading to the silk interior. Doll's tunic - wearing thing in patches and with old spot repairs. The blue collar panel has lost most of the white fur edging and threads are wearing thin. Uncut silk purse panel - delicate but mostly ok. The gauze has discoloured and there are some random holes but generally stable.Three pieces of Chinese silk work including a finely embroidered double sided bag with crane over water; a 19th century silk purse, uncut, on a gauze; and a small silk doll's tunic.
