🧵 Craftsmanship & Ingredients
This compact Yunjin piece is woven with ultra-fine silk threads, using traditional jacquard looms in Nanjing. Each pixel of the dragon's form—its scales, claws, and golden aura—is achieved through carefully programmed threading, reflecting centuries of Yunjin mastery. The base textile structure is engineered for both detail and durability, with threads hand-trimmed and set to preserve the round symmetry and iconography.
🌏 Artisan & Origin Spotlight
This desk décor was woven by master artisans at the Nanjing Yunjin Research Institute, custodians of one of China’s oldest imperial textile traditions. Each piece reflects both precision in loomwork and refinement in symbolism—preserving legacy while adapting it for contemporary appreciation.
