Historical information

"These are Han Chinese women’s robe edging. I am thinking they are 2" wide? Sleeve bands are much wider, 3 1/4" (just the embroidery width).  The silk gauze denotes from a summer robe. Nice to be able to see the drawing. No one could tell where it was made. It is not special, late 19th c. the subject matter is usual. Ladies in gardens. "
