A superb Thai seal, with a registered company name in 3 languages, Thai, Chinese and English. Has a dark patinated metal knob on one side of the handle. Well aged ivory and traces of frequent use, the seal image seems to be in fine condition. Traces of the red ink used. Probably from the 1930-1950'ties, but could be older. Handle supposed to be detachable, unscrews a tiny little but not fully, and I didn't want to push it. Can export since it is pre-ban. H: 7,5 cm (3") W: 5 cm (2"), D: 3.3 cm (1.5")

A Chinese silk embroidery e. 20th century. Two foo dogs in a floral environment, one white the other gold/golden brown. Fantastic workmanship in embroidery on a microscopically thin piece of silk. To hold the piece together a likewise thin paper has been applied on the back. From the photos of the back we observe that paper has been applied after the embroidery was finished since the stitching does not go through the paper! Someone appreciated this embroidery a lot since it orginally came in a heavy rosewood framing with glass and heavy iron suspension rings. On the back cover was written Warren Barrow & Co. Bangkok. The embroidery is very well preserved and the colors has not faded much. There is a few and very minor holes in the embroidery and a few unimportant stains. Size with paper frame: Width: 73 cm, Height: 52 cm. With-out the paper-frame: Width: 64 cm, Height: 47 cm. Weight ca. 80 grams.
