Striking and graphic embroidery on silk, China, ca. 1890. Here an American Eagle is shown holding laurel branches (the symbol of piece), along with the American Flag and Shield, with Stars surrounding the grouping. It is in an old possibly original frame with framers label on back.

These embroideries where commissioned by military and naval officers to commemorate their time in the Orient. Although we have seen and handled these embroideries in the past, this is an unusual configuration with vibrant colors and a very graphic feeling. A delight for the collector or anyone who appreciates fine art with a history.
