Yunjin Brocade Ornament - Double Dragons Playing with a Pearl.

Yunjin Brocade, often referred to as 'Cloud Brocade,' is a luxurious and traditional Chinese textile art that dates back over a thousand years.

Originating from the city of Nanjing, Yunjin is renowned for its exquisite craftsmanship and intricate patterns that often feature motifs from nature and Chinese mythology.

The technique involves complex weaving processes where silk threads, sometimes interlaced with gold or silver, are meticulously arranged to create a vibrant, multidimensional fabric.

Historically reserved for imperial garments and court decorations during the Ming and Qing dynasties, Yunjin embodies a rich heritage of royal elegance and cultural pride.

Today, it is celebrated as a symbol of Chinese artistic tradition and is often used in decorative items and ceremonial attire, preserving its legacy as a treasure of China’s intangible cultural heritage.
