What does this mean?

Hello Damon,

Thank you for your appraisal inquiry with Mearto. The item presented appears to be silk blend embroidery on fabric depicting a cat, butterfly, and rose bush. The panel includes an inscription to the left. These inscriptions are typically short poems or proverbs. This image has been reproduced on embroidered panels and prints throughout the 20th century. The origin of the print is likely a Traditional Chinese artist workshop from the 19th century.

The estimate provided is based on recent auction estimates and results of this work and other comparable single panel silk embroideries in the Chinese style, dating to the early to mis 20th century. The estimate is contingent on a full condition report. Please note asking or dealer prices may vary. Thank you and please take care.
