Antique Qing Dynasty Chinese Dragon Orange Silk Panel - Gold Metal Embroidery

Description

An antique silk 5 claws dragon panel. Orange with gold metal embroidery using a couching technique.
Condition:
Fair with many issues to note. There is significant wear to the fabric body including holes, wear & fading to one side of the orange fabric. Some of the gold metal embroidery has come loose. The black fabric trim is also beginning to show wear from age and breakage in the silk if you look closely. The orange and black fabrics are stabilized by the fabric panel they have been sewn to. There are blue marks on the back, likely from being previously mounted for display. Please inspect the pictures.
Width: 16 3/4 inches
Length: 29 1/4 inches
