    Item 1 - Red Silk Embroidered Cover with Double-Coin Motif: A stunning square panel featuring a bold central medallion of interlocked coins (shuangqian) rendered in silver and gold thread on a vivid red silk ground, surrounded by swirling ruyi cloud ribbons and a lotus base in slate blue. 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.


    Item 4 - Square Panel with Large Blue Peony Embroidery on Red Ground: A bold and lush square embroidery featuring oversized peony blooms in graduated blue tones -- from deep navy to icy white -- on a saturated crimson satin ground, accented with an endless-knot (pan chang) symbol. The outer border is a deep chocolate-black silk brocade landscape scene with pavilions, flowering trees, and scattered blossoms in soft blues and pinks. Framed by a narrow white chain-stitch inner border. A dramatic decorator piece with excellent color saturation.


    Item 5 - Square Navy Silk Cover with Scattered Floral Roundel Embroidery: A refined square cover of deep navy blue silk embroidered with five scattered roundels of chrysanthemums, peonies, and leafy sprays in blue, white, and celadon tones. The border is a handsome gold brocade woven with a geometric floral diaper pattern accented in moss green and coral. The reverse is plain navy damask silk with subtle woven floral texture visible. Elegant, restrained, and highly versatile for display.


    Item 6 - Olive Damask Silk Square Cover (Reverse/Lining Panel): A square panel in olive-gold silk damask woven with a subtle all-over cloud and floral scroll pattern, functioning as the reverse or lining of an embroidered cover. Shows natural aging and fold lines consistent with age and storage. Original dealer tag attached at lower left. A useful textile study piece or conservation backing material.


    Item 7 - Original 1977 House of Antique Hong Kong Receipt with Handwritten Notes: The crown jewel of provenance -- an original cash memo No. 1408 from House of Antique, 229 Hong Kong Hotel 2nd Floor, Kowloon, Hong Kong, dated 14 November 1977, made out to Mr. E. James Tilton. Lists multiple embroidery pieces described as OVER ONE HUNDRED YEARS OLD, totaling HK$950. Accompanied by a handwritten index card identifying individual pieces by stock number, description, and price in USD. A remarkable and complete provenance document elevating the entire collection.


    Item 8 - Group Overview / Collection Shot: The opening overview image shows the full assembled collection laid out on a dealer table, confirming the cohesion of the group and the presence of all pieces together at time of listing.
