The border is a rich burgundy brocade densely woven with stylized floral roundels in white, gold, and coral. The reverse is backed in olive-green silk. A showpiece of auspicious Qing symbolism and refined needlework craft.
Item 2 - Pair of Rectangular Silk Embroidered Panels with Flower Basket Roundels: A matched pair of long horizontal panels, each featuring three circular roundels enclosing flower basket motifs surrounded by scrolling vines, grapes, and blue blossoms on a pale gold satin ground. The inner border carries repeated shou (longevity) characters in green and navy, framed by a teal and burgundy stripe. The outer border is a warm olive-gold brocade with an allover floral lattice. Verso is plain olive silk with original dealer stock labels attached.
Item 3 - Large Rectangular Panel with Six Antique Vessel Medallions: A commanding horizontal textile featuring six oval cartouches, each enclosing a painted antique vase or gu vessel motif in navy and grey on a dusty rose ground worked in dense couched gold thread. The outer border is a deep black silk embroidered with a Greek-key meander, chrysanthemum bursts, and curling vines in silver and pale blue. An unusually formal and architecturally composed piece suggesting altar or furniture-cover use.

Elegant, restrained, and highly versatile for display.
