* Appliquéd panel. An early appliqué and metalwork panel, British, late 18th century, a panel of large-patterned crimson damask (one piece), onlaid with diverse velvet and brocade appliqués (some probably Spitalfields), forming central design of a pair of parrots surrounded by copious floral and foliate motifs on sinuous stems, flanked by exotic birds and butterflies, and with an oval below containing the head and wings of a putto embroidered in coloured and metal threads, gold metal embroidery outlining each motif and forming tendrils, brocade ground just beginning to perish in places, wide gold metallic braid edging to all sides, backed with various coarse-woven fabrics (some minor marks and wear), 159.5 x 147.5 cm (63 x 58 ins) QTY: (1)NOTE:An unusual and striking early piece of appliqué and metalwork, in good condition.
* Chinese Embroidered Robe. A woman's silk informal robe, late Qing Dynasty, dark blue silk robe with long wide sleeves, hand-embroidered overall using polychrome silks, with a design of large medallions of paeonies interspersed with other floral motifs and large moths, sleeves edged with a band of gold silk embroidered with urns and vases of flowers, and a ceramic pot of rolled paper scrolls and calligraphy brushes, hem with paeony flowers disposed at intervals on a lishui stripe border, worked in satin stitch and long and short stitch, with occasional back-stitch and couched gold metallic thread outlines, some small losses to embroidery, lined with pale blue silk (with mottled fading, and some soiling and slight perishing at neck), centre opening, with 3 toggle fasteners, length 108.5 cm (42.75 ins), width cuff to cuff 135 cm (53 ins) QTY: (1)NOTE:Undoubtedly a female calligrapher's robe, denoted by the relatively small size, and the iconography.

The image of the tools of a scribe is much less commonly seen, and adds another dimension to our knowledge of the wearer of this robe. There is a long history of female calligraphers in China, but such women have often been overlooked over the centuries, and passed over in favour of their more dominant male counterparts.
