A beautiful handkerchief featuring Swatow embroidery, one of the world's three major embroidery styles. ♡ This is Swatow embroidery from Shantou, China. ♡ In the 18th century, embroidery techniques brought from Europe were uniquely passed down, resulting in this beautiful Swatow embroidery. It features the characteristic white background with grayish embroidery. It's very beautiful, with embroidery even on the edges. The intricate patterns of the old days are considered works of art, and it's said that the transmission of the techniques is becoming difficult. This is a piece I want to cherish. I collected this and kept it at home. There are fold marks. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such details.
