Asking prices in these examples range from about £17 to £126, with differences in size, age, framing and condition affecting comparisons.

If a panel is described as antique or handmade, review the supporting description and any visible marks rather than relying on the title alone.

What to Look For

Check the panel’s dimensions, including the frame, and confirm how it will be displayed. Examine close-up photographs for pulled threads, thinning silk, stains, fading, insect damage and areas of loose or missing embroidery. Ask whether the backing, mount and frame are original to the panel, and look for signs of water damage or later alterations. Metallic thread, including zardozi or tilla work, can tarnish, flatten or detach with age. Inspect the reverse for repairs, lining, labels, inscriptions or marks, without assuming these prove age or origin. Confirm whether the glass is included, how securely the work is mounted, and whether the seller offers suitable UK delivery packaging.

Buying Tips

When comparing Asian silk embroidery panels, look beyond the frame and compare the textile’s visible condition, dimensions and design. Check photographs for fading, loose threads, stains, holes, creasing and signs of insect damage, and ask whether the panel has been backed, mounted or restored. Read descriptions for signatures, labels and included fittings rather than assuming age or origin. Confirm packed size, postage costs and insurance, particularly for glazed frames, and check the seller’s returns policy before buying.
