I got this at a recent estate sale and had never seen anything like it. It is very cool and incredible how these are made. After a bit of research I learned that it is an ancient art and that Suzhou is famous for producing them. It is amazing how you never see a knot or loose thread. The threads are knitted together to create a seamless effect as well as being split and layered to create the effect you see. The back side matches the front. Its amazing. The second photo shows both sides. I have no idea what kind of dog is this but he is rather cute. I have no idea how old this piece is or who was the embroiderer. I asked the sister of the woman whose estate she was liquidating and she had no idea how old it was. The whole thing is in very good condition as well as the frame and glass. The frame is rosewood and it is made with out a nail or staple and looks to be hand carved. The glass is convex on both sides and it appears it was made specifically for the frame. This is a nice double embroidery to display in your home especially if you do embroidery!

All items are stored in a smoke free home! Sometimes family and friends save boxes and packing material for me as I am a nut about recycling. Some of them smoke in their homes. When I bring boxes etc home that have been given to me I store them with my shipping supplies in my garage and hope they will be aired out before I use them. If you are allergic to smoke please let me know and I will make sure a box and packing material is not from those sources. However once it leaves I have no control over postal employees who smoke while driving around delivering mail.

Please remember that when you are bidding on vintage, antique, secondhand, collectible and estate items- most are not 100% perfect and will show some evidence of age, usage and general wear. I buy what I like and sell them as I find them. I do not attempt to make repairs and rarely even clean them. I try to describe items as honestly and accurately as possible and some things that I see as normal aging, others might see as a flaw or defect. I do not claim to be an expert and donâe(tm)t always know what to look for when examining an item SO PLEASE EMAIL ME WITH QUESTIONS.

Due to new Ebay rules because t are sellers who overcharge on shipping....I now have to use a calculator or an exact shipping cost. Since all my items vary in size, weight and everyone lives in different postal zones an exact cost is not possible (not unless those of you who live closer to me want to pay for a shipping rate to Hawaii ). I would have to use the higher rate to cover shipping that is farthest from me. So please use the calculator and know that I am estimating on the high side since I can't wrap up and store every item in a box ready to be shipped. If it winds up costing less to ship I always refund any overcharge back to the buyer through Paypal . I usually donâe(tm)t use UPS but have no problem doing so if you want it shipped that way. If I put 2 shipping options in you need to let me know as soon as the auction closes how you want your item shipped. If I donâe(tm)t hear from you I will use the cheapest option available. I do combine s/h to save you money.

For International Shipping please email me for a shipping quote if I didnâe(tm)t put the calculator on the listing. With International shipping is sometimes costs less once I have taken your item to the post office. So if you are overcharged I will do a partial refund through Paypal. I will also email you a copy of the postal receipt which has the customs form for your records. Please note if you do not want First Class International shipping (which is the cheapest way to ship-t is no insurance available and it can only be used on packages weighing less than 4 pounds) please let me know as soon as the auction is over so I can put the correct shipping on your invoice. I will not alter the selling price nor put gift on a customs form so please do not bother ask...
