Rare vintage Swatow handkerchief
The delicate Swatow embroidery, where artisans finish each stitch one by one, is truly the pinnacle of hand-embroidered craftsmanship.
It is now difficult to pass on the Swatow techniques, making this a valuable item.
I am selling this from my family's cherished collection.
Lovely flowers are embroidered in gentle pastel colors.
Size: Approximately 29cm square
(Please allow for some error due to amateur measurements)
Unused, but it has been stored.
Please understand that there may be creases and minor fraying.
There may be small stains that are not visible in the images.
Please check the images for the condition and purchase with your understanding.
Please refrain from purchasing if you are a perfectionist and are concerned about even the smallest details.
=====================================
This is a masterpiece of hand embroidery, considered a "human cultural heritage" from the port town of Swatow, China.
The Shantou handkerchief conveys the excellence of outstanding handwork.
Made with natural fibers, it is also absorbent, making it practical, which is a great appeal. Unfortunately, with modernization, this tradition has almost disappeared.
