Pictures below show a small amber tablecloth used in Peranakan house. It was probably used on a small rectangular table because of the arrangement of motifs at the sides. The design shows many European and South American birds stand on branches. The tropical hibiscus can be seen, along with the many peonies.
The combination of multi colours on the amber ground is characteristic of Penang Peranakan embroidery work. During the traditional Peranakan wedding, the family would decorate the table with prized pieces of silver and porcelain, as well as gifts and food.
