Hello Robert,

I’m very glad that you chose Mearto for your online appraisal,

Considering the photographs, overall pattern, textile quality and the colours, I concluded that this is a Hand Embroidered and framed Pair of Chinese Scrolls, dating back to the period between 1960-1980. The pieces are designed in a very modern and contemporary pattern, which can be seen with the minimalistic decoration of the piece. Both pieces are made of silk material with likely cotton embroidered motifs on it. The precision on the item is very high and the quality is quite satisfactory for the period. I've also investigated the seals and the writings, writings does explain the floral paterns and the seals are used commonly between the indicated dates. Both piece has a floral pattern enriched by birds and butterflies. Both pieces has an inner frame apart from the outer frame.The piece on the right depicts sparrows flying over flowers and butterflies, while the piece on the left depicts two long-tails on a bamboo tree. Both pieces are in good condition without any visible faults.

Dimensions: 14 Inches by 37 Inches, framed.

Condition: Both pieces are in good condition without any visible faults.

Provenance: The pair was a gift to the current owner's parents from their son in-law, given in 1970's.
