About suzhou embroidery

Suzhou or "Su" embroidery is one of the oldest embroidery techniques in the world, with origins stretching back more than 2,000 years.  Suzhou embroidery was one of the first embroidery styles to be developed in China, but its detailed needlework and intricate images are still produced today.  It is a style characterized by brightly colored silk embroidered with well-proportioned and uncluttered representations of almost any pastoral scene, person, animal, or object.  Examples of Suzhou embroidery were so detailed and intricate that many people used the pieces as artwork, and some of the oldest pieces still in existence date back hundreds of years. 

 
Suzhou embroidery consists of very detailed representations of almost any subject embroidered onto fine silk with silk thread.  One of the distinctive features of Suzhou embroidery is that some pieces two-sided; that is, the picture is repeated on both sides of the embroidered piece.  The stitching on Suzhou embroidered pieces is done with silk threads that have been divided until the actual thread is almost impossible to see.  Through the repetition of stitches a very dense embroidering occurs.  Suzhou embroidery has been used in clothing, wall hangings, and even intricate book covers dating back almost 1,000 years. 

 
Whether you buy a Suzhou embroidered piece made recently or search for a piece with more history, Suzhou embroidery remains one of the world's finest techniques.  Many people around the world are now discovering the beauty and artistry inherent in these pieces.
