About Forbidden Stitch:
Forbidden Stitch, also known as the Peking Knot, is a traditional Chinese embroidery technique characterized by extremely small and tight stitches, often using silk threads. The term "Forbidden" arises from the legend that this stitch was so intricate and demanding that it could strain the eyesight of the embroiderer, leading to its restriction among young women. The result, however, is a richly textured and highly detailed work of art that captures the beauty and elegance of Chinese floral and symbolic motifs.
Design Details:
Each piece features a central peony flower, symbolizing prosperity, honor, and beauty in Chinese culture. The surrounding motifs include classic Chinese vases, foliage, and other traditional elements, all rendered in rich hues of blue, green, and red.
Framing:
The embroideries are professionally framed under glass with a soft beige mat and red wooden frames that complement the colors of the embroidery. The frames are ready for hanging and will add a sophisticated, cultural touch to any room.
These rare and beautiful pieces are perfect for collectors of Asian art, lovers of antique textiles, or anyone looking to enhance their decor with a unique and meaningful set of artwork.
