BEAUTIFUL CHINESE QING DYNASTY SILK EMBROIDERED FORBIDDEN STITCH AND GOLD THREAD SLEEVES. This is very unusual, The pair of antique Chinese sleeves are mounted on a old very long beautiful piece of silk so we are not sure of it's purpose but the quality of the embroidery is superb. The embroidery is in very good condition with no damage and the silk backing has some minor fraying to the edges with a few small holes but again no damage to the embroidered sleeves. Measures 136" by 8.5" overall The sleeves alone measure 19" by 6.75" Most all of these textiles that we are offering came from a collection that was stored away in blanket chests for many decades. CONDITION The absence of a condition statement does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear,
