Embroidered/beaded silk skirt panel, c.1890
Textiles of the highest quality are rarely produced today due to the high cost of skilled labor. Untold hours were spent hand embroidering this silk faille skirt panel with padded satin stitch, chain stitch, and French knots of fine silk floss.
Tiny white seed beads are used throughout for highlights. Note the precision and delicacy in the execution of detail, accentuated by the symmetry of the central design. This is a masterpiece of embroidery art!
You can use the panel for a special project; or frame it and hang it on the wall, where family and friends can delight in the extraordinary beauty of the superfine hand work.
The condition is excellent.
It measures 37 1/2" long by 26" wide.
