Pair of Antique Chinese Embroideries from Penang, Malaysia

Description

This is a wonderfully detailed pair of Antique Chinese Embroideries.  These satin backed embroideries were purchased by my father in the early 1970's in Penang, Malaysia during the period he owned an Antique Shop in Batu Ferringhi.  As an avid collector of Chinese textiles he purchased a number of embroideries from local Antique Shops that primarily specialized in Peranakan and / or local Chinese items.  As stand-alone pieces these delicate embroideries could be framed behind glass and would show quite nicely. In regards to condition please note that the background green areas of both embroideries have slightly noticeable discoloration that appears as a gold hue (see Note above).  The nicely detailed textured cloth matting that surrounds the entire embroidery is 1 7/8 inch wide.  There is only a single fold mark on each embroidery and it is in the middle.  I would conservatively estimate these embroideries date to the turn of the Century.
Embroidery Dimensions: 8 3/4 inches wide and 23 3/4 inches in length.  Weight: 1.7 ounces each (3.4 ounces total)
