Did You Know?

The embroidery was executed with silk thread in satin stitch on a silk background of satin weave.
A vertically oriented cream silk textile features alternating lavender, dark purple, and light blue stripes. Four symmetrical columns of floral embroidery trail downward, featuring green vines with blue and pink blossoms. Small, colorful birds swoop between the foliage. On the wide cream bands, botanical patterns are dense, while thinner vines accent the outer stripes. The balanced composition pairs rigid vertical geometry with delicate, organic nature motifs, framed by dark edge stitching.
