Large Silk Brocade, Phoenix Birds on Paulownia Tree
A large cloth, silk brocade, lined with cotton with ties on one side. Dimensions: 104 1/4”W x 45”L (2.65m x 1.14m). There are four 26” panels sewn together (sewing machine), each panel is decorated with a pair of phoenix birds parched on a paulownia tree in genuine gold leaves. The color of the silk is not as red as it appears in some photos. It is orange with brownish tone. The gold and the color of the silk sparkles when it is hit by. The design in this color suggests that this was made for a wedding or other joyful occasion. The condition is excellent with some frail soft silk (cream color) at the bottom. This can be trimmed off.
