Product Description<br /><br />Beautiful, highly embellished & highly detailed silk hand embroidery of the Connecticut State Seal. Highest quality silk work with gold and silver bullion threads and beads. Features four American Flags with 13 Stars. These were sold to American sailors traveling to the Orient in this era. Also during the Great White Fleet voyage around the World circa 1907-1909. The card says Nagasak Himamura Enbroider Japan silkwork. Circa 1895-1910<br /> This might explain Japanese newspaper? The embroidery supposedly came out of an old school house in Glennville Ca. The frame is massive and weighs 20 lbs. It is a spectacular antique frame purchased at an estate sale. Still looking.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03709470079701567576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2517604320453054140.post-22876283825899634682015-01-21T10:08:47.977-08:002015-01-21T10:08:47.977-08:00Cheryl am not expert on textiles you need to conta...Cheryl am not expert on textiles you need to contact a person that is, although the Japanese newspaper attached to the back would be a dead giveaway that it might be a fake made in Asia. As most of the state embroidery that is popping up these days are , they use old antique fabrics to make the fakes. andrew1860https://www.blogger.com/profile/09302166776668727094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2517604320453054140.post-20936371429152214872015-01-21T09:03:14.287-08:002015-01-21T09:03:14.287-08:00hello Andrew I could really use your help with a t...hello Andrew I could really use your help with a textile I have because you are the only one I can find on the entire Internet with something similar on your site. I have tried by email not sure if your email address was still good. I did try this option before but I do not remember seeing the Notify me box before. Maybe that will help? It is similar to the fake state flag sampler but not as in good of condition and it has a 1901 Japanese newspaper attached to the back of it.
