Chinese Silk Embroidery Heron Bird Mandarin Square Qing Dynasty, Antique Wall Art Decor Vintage Fine Art Print

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, high-ranking Chinese officials didn’t need printed calling cards. They displayed their status with vibrant colors, gold threads, and animal patterns embroidered onto the surcoat. The particular animal or bird indicated the official's rank. The original Qing dynasty silk embroidery squares have become collectors' items.

The heron is believed to have been a popular choice among officials during this time period, as it was seen as a symbol of strength, grace, and wisdom. The intricate embroidery design is a testament to the skill and artistry of the craftsmen who created it, and the vibrant colors and gold threads add to its beauty and splendor.
