Subject:Help - Translation of Chinese into English please, silk art !
Posted By: Udo B. Thu, Sep 16, 2021 IP: 114.198.14.137
I have bought a pair of beautiful high quality made silk embroidery of birds sitting on branches with Chinese embroidered headings that I cannot read. The art work is dated to 1975 or earlier and is from Hong Kong. Stunning piece of work. Please if someone could translate the heading, much appreciated. Artist is unknown. Maybe someone would also knows the artist as it is of very high quality handwork.

雀舞迎春　-　Peacocks dance, joyously greet the spring

There is no way to find out the artist. These embroideries are made in large numbers in mainland China.

With regards,

Dear I.Nagy
Thank you so much for the translation and your input into this post. I understand that without a signature it is a needle in the haystack to know who was the artist. Yes, I can image that there are a lot of these talented artists making such embroidery. Thank You once more for your time and providing the translation, I can now add this info to the art work. Kind Regards, Udo
