Vintage Framed Silk Embroidery Birds and Blossoms

This is a vintage vertical rectangular needlework piece, likely dating from the mid-20th century (c. 1950s-1970s). The artwork features two white stylized long-tailed birds, possibly birds of paradise or phoenixes, perched upon or flying near branches of pink and red cherry blossoms. The embroidery is executed on a mustard-yellow or ochre-colored woven fabric background, possibly silk or linen. The white thread used for the birds' bodies and elaborate, swirling tail feathers is highly textured, suggesting the use of satin stitch and perhaps French knots for detail. The floral elements use a variegated pink and red thread to create depth in the petals. The piece is housed in a narrow, dark-toned wooden frame with a gold-colored inner fillet. The craftsmanship shows a high level of detail in the fluid linework of the birds' tails. Condition-wise, the frame shows visible scuffs, nicks, and losing of finish along the edges. The fabric background appears slightly aged with minor darkening or foxing consistent with its age. There is no visible glass, which may have allowed for surface dust accumulation over time. The overall style is reminiscent of Asian-inspired needlework popular in mid-century home decor.
