Antique Chinese Two-Piece Pleated Silk Satin Pink Skirt

Chinese embroidered textiles often cause gasps among Western needle workers because their beauty and the obvious skill of their workmanship are simply astonishing.

Antique Asian textiles in good condition are becoming increasingly difficult to find. When a textile is found in good to excellent condition, it is a near miracle.

Pictures below showing an antique (late 19th century) Chinese two-piece pleated silk satin pink skirt with panels embroidered with images of flowers, butterflies and birds. The skirt is neatly hand stitched on a band of white cotton cloth or linen waistband.
