{"product_id":"su-embroidery-palace-silk-lamp","title":"Su Embroidery Palace Silk Lamp","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis lamp a piece of Suzhou embroidery that happens to cast light. Modelled after the classical Chinese palace lantern, this \u003cstrong\u003eSuzhou Embroidery Palace Silk Lamp\u003c\/strong\u003e houses four hand-embroidered silk panels within a solid wood frame, each face carrying its own scene rendered entirely by hand in pure silk thread. A piece that belongs equally to a contemporary interior and to a 2,500-year tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Embroidery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach panel is worked in the tradition of \u003cstrong\u003eSu Xiu (苏绣), Suzhou silk embroidery\u003c\/strong\u003e, one of the oldest and most technically demanding forms of Chinese textile art. Silk threads are colour-matched by hand and placed with a richness of needle technique that produces fine gradations of tone, depth, and texture impossible to achieve by machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003efour embroidered faces\u003c\/strong\u003e each carry a distinct scene: birds among seasonal blossoms, lotus on still water, panda amid bamboo, flora in full bloom. To turn this piece slowly in your hands is to move through four distinct moments, four expressions of the same ancient craft, each complete in its own right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Note on Handcraft\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery piece in this collection is \u003cstrong\u003eembroidered entirely by hand\u003c\/strong\u003e. Silk threads are selected, colour-matched, and placed stitch by stitch by the artisan, not a machine, not a template. As a result, each finished piece carries its own natural character: \u003cstrong\u003esubtle variations in colour tone, stitch placement, and compositional detail are inherent to the process.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe piece you receive may differ slightly from the product images shown. No two pieces from this collection will be identical, and none are intended to be. This is not a flaw. It is the nature of genuine handcraft, and the quality that makes each piece singular.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Note on the Power Plug\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lantern is shipped with a standard plug fitting.
