Suzhou embroidery is undoubtedly one of the dazzling stars in the magnificent halls of traditional Chinese culture. As the "Oriental Pearl", it has attracted countless eyes with its unique craftsmanship and profound cultural heritage.

Inheriting the charm of Jiangnan for thousands of years

The history of Suzhou embroidery can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. After more than 2,500 years of precipitation and development, it has formed a world-famous art form. Especially in the innovative technique of "double-sided embroidery", the embroiderer can present two completely different patterns on the same piece of cloth, making the work lifelike and lifelike. And each embroidery decorative painting produced by Xishan Leju has condensed dozens or even hundreds of hours of fine handmade process, fully demonstrating the perfect combination of traditional skills and modern aesthetics.

from material selection to painting excellence

behind the high quality is inseparable from the strict control of every link. First of all, in the choice of fabric, 'Xishan Leju' insists on using brocade woven from natural silk as the base fabric. This material is not only soft in luster but also not easy to fade. Secondly, all pigments are extracted by plant dyeing to ensure pure colors and durability without deterioration. Finally, in the application of stitches, more than ten kinds of basic stitches are combined and transformed infinitely to create a distinct picture effect.

Cultural symbols in the home space

How to integrate such a poetic artwork into daily life? The answer lies in clever collocation. For families with classical Chinese decoration style, traditional themes such as flowers, birds, fish and insects can be chosen to echo the overall artistic conception. For those who like simple Nordic style, they may as well try some geometric figures or abstract expressions, which can add some interest and highlight the owner's extraordinary taste.

imagine, hanging a majestic landscape map above the living room wall will undoubtedly make guests feel a strong cultural atmosphere. However, decorating a few small and exquisite plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum ornaments in a corner of the study implies noble moral character and lofty ideals. As for the restaurant area, if it can be arranged around the theme of flowers in the four seasons, it will form a continuous and harmonious beautiful atmosphere.

Collection Value and Investment Prospect

In recent years, with the continuous heating up of the art market, those high-end customized limited edition embroidery works have gradually become hot investment targets. In particular, the version signed and certified by well-known masters is often many times higher than that of ordinary mass production models.

Of course, you need to be well prepared before you get into this area-learn to identify authenticity to prevent being cheated, and understand the correct storage methods to avoid problems such as damage to the original state leading to lower valuations. For example, they should be stored in a constant temperature and dry environment to avoid direct sunlight and other factors to effectively delay the aging process.

The ideal choice to make life full of poetry

In fact, it is not only a few professionals who are interested in this type of artwork, but more and more ordinary people are beginning to realize its irreplaceable value. For example, a newly married couple specially customized a portrait of the couple to commemorate each other's best time. An elder who was about to enter his old age decided to permanently preserve the photos of his children and grandchildren into precious memoirs. Many young professionals have also followed suit and used these creative designs to transform their workplaces to stimulate a steady stream of inspiration.

It is such a rich application scenarios that make us believe that everyone who loves life deserves such a beautiful gift!
