I have sat patiently for hours over the last month to rescue and preserve this silk panel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe silk is the finest of quality, a delight to touch and the embroidery is laboured and beautifully executed in satin and stem stitches.  It has faded in colour on the right side and as the reverse was protected it is still holds the original tones and palette.. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased on the style I would suggest that this panel sits between an age of 1750\/1780.  But if you think I am wrong please do let me know.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis would be just perfect to frame and preserve for a lifetime.   I have left the panel in the shape it was when removed from the cushion.  Can you believe that this was the reverse of the cushion, the front will feature in a future collection at some point this year.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe size of the panel is 51cm x 10cm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Linen Garden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57860160815491,"sku":null,"price":8.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0847\/2438\/files\/floralsilkpanel10a.jpg?v=1776976977","url":"https:\/\/www.thelinengarden.co.uk\/products\/very-old-hand-embroidered-reclaimed-18thc-silk-fragment-no-10","provider":"The Linen Garden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
