Vintage Suzhou Chinese double sided hand embroidery goldfish bowl collectible

Vintage. Perfect condition
Type: Double-sided embroidery, meaning the intricate image, in this case, a fishbowl scene with goldfish, is flawlessly visible from both sides of the sheer silk fabric.
Technique: The art form is famous for its fine, delicate, and numerous stitches, often using split silk threads that can be as thin as one-tenth of a human hair.
Design: The scene typically features koi or goldfish, which
are popular motifs in Chinese culture, often symbolizing good fortune and harmony.
Frame/Stand: It is housed in a circular, often carved, dark wood (like mahogany or rosewood) frame that allows the artwork to be displayed on a table or shelf. The frame in the image appears to be on a separate, intricately carved stand.
Origin: This type of embroidery originates from the Suzhou region of China and is considered one of the "Four Great Famous Embroideries" in Chinese traditional folk art.
