Chinese Silk Embroidered Scenes

By sthorkelson, 24 September, 2009
Description

What I know about these silks is very limited (which is why I'm here). Both are water scenes, mountains and a country life type feeling to them. My grandmother sealed the frames with tape on the backs to keep them in good condition, so I have left them that way. I was told they're worth something, and to take care of them, that is about all I know. I know she had them for all the time that my mother or I can remember. She came from an affluent family, with travellers, and it was not unusual for their home to have valuable tems scattered throughout it. I just need a little help getting pointed in the right direction to find out what these are....thank you in advance!!
