Handwoven Shu Brocade, known as "Mother of All Brocades", is China’s national intangible cultural heritage with nearly 3,000 years of history and the foremost among China’s Four Great Brocades.
It is woven manually on traditional wooden flower tower looms by two artisans. Adopting the unique ancient technique of Tiaohua Jieben (pattern knotting), thousands of silk warp threads are dyed separately. As a warp-faced woven textile, Shu Brocade is thick, structured with raised vivid patterns and excellent color fastness.
Different from digitally printed silk, every texture of Shu Brocade is formed by interlacing silk threads. Once luxury treasures traded along the ancient Silk Road, today Shu Brocade can be made into garments, scroll art, home decor and collectibles. Handwoven Shu Brocade inherits the ancient oriental textile legacy shuttle by shuttle.
