Chinese Republic Era Silk Rose Robe Sleeve Bands Framed 1920’s

A tightly hand-embroidered pair of sleeve bands that have been framed together with brocade edges.

 

A colorful pair of sleeve bands that were to be attached to a robe or garment. The embroidery design is two pairs of roses. The one pair of roses is beige. The other pair is the same beige, but shaded with a yellow green.  The roses are surrounded with turquoise floral tendrils. The embroidery is satin stitch with colorful silk thread. There is couched gold thread along all of the edges. The brocade surrounding the sleeve bands has a very deco-looking brown and blue pattern. The smaller inner brocade is a colorful purple butterfly pattern.  There is an old black wood frame with glass front and a board back.

The threads are very bright and show very minimal fading. They are tight in the frame with no loose threads. The frame is loose and has been taped on the back to hold the back and frame together.

 

Please note that any marks you see in the photos are reflections. I had a difficult time eliminating all reflections.
