■ Swatow Embroidery Handkerchief ■ Size: Approximately 30cm x 28.5cm ❖ This is a masterpiece with exquisite embroidery covering almost the entire surface. ❖ We recommend framing it beautifully for display. ✜ This item was purchased in Hong Kong over 45 years ago. Being from that era, it is undoubtedly entirely hand-embroidered!! Currently, the performance of sewing machines has advanced greatly, making it difficult to distinguish between hand embroidery and machine embroidery at a glance. Therefore, unfortunately, recently made Swatow embroidery is often done by machine. It is now rare to find artisans who can create such elaborate and delicate embroidery, making this a valuable item... At first glance, the color appears more grayish than white. I purchased several at the time, and I am offering this unused piece for sale. Although unused, it is a very old item, so upon close inspection, there may be extremely small stains. Therefore, I have classified it as "near new." Thank you for your understanding. ❖ You won't find another item like this. If you keep it carefully for decades to come, its value will likely increase as it is a precious item... Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about minor details, as this item has been stored at home for many years. #SwatowEmbroidery #VintageItem #EmbroiderySwatow #ChineseTraditionalCrafts #HandEmbroideryHighestClass #Decluttering
