About the Item
Woven silk and embroidered textiles have been popular in China and sought after the world over for thousands of years. Embroidered textiles are called xiuhua (or zhahua) ("making decorations with a needle"). China was the first country in the world to weave silk. Most Chinese embroideries are made of silk, thus Chinese embroidery has been inseparable from silkworm raising and silk reeling and weaving. This example of a decorative banner is from the nineteenth century, and it depicts a floral pattern with butterflies and abstract shapes. The embroiderer employed several types of stitches for aesthetic reasons, variety, and to display mastery of the art. Ornaments in the form of garments, wall hangings, and tablecloths were often commissioned to display power and wealth. Embroidery has always been considered a major art in China, which has contributed to its development both technically and creatively. It is used like painting, calligraphy, and sculpture to express emotions, sensations, to transmit history or a story, and to unite a people around its symbols. This piece was most likely made as decoration for a domestic interior.
