The winding leaves an edge no cloth flower can match — crisp lines, sharp folds. Once made for bridal ornaments and temple offerings, each piece still takes a full working day or more of winding. Because every petal is wound by hand over its paper core, size and posture vary slightly from piece to piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails \u0026amp; Dimensions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTitle: Silk-Wrapped Flower Brooch\u003cbr\u003eSubject: Floral · Brooch\u003cbr\u003eMediums: Mulberry silk thread, color-preserving copper wire, paper core\u003cbr\u003eCraft: Silk-wrapped flower (chan hua), a Chinese intangible cultural heritage; entirely handmade\u003cbr\u003eRarity: One of a kind — every petal is wound by hand\u003cbr\u003eSize: Pin approx. 70 mm; longest leaf approx. 110 mm; bloom approx. 30 × 30 mm.

If it catches damp, blot gently with a dry cotton swab. Avoid oils, perfume and knits or zips that can snag the thread. Move slowly when adjusting the shape — copper wire breaks if bent back and forth too often. Store flat in its own box with a small sachet of desiccant, and dust with a soft brush. Never wash or wipe with a wet cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eShipping \u0026amp; Returns\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreparation: 7–10 business days.\u003cbr\u003eEstimated transit after dispatch: 8–12 business days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/policies\/shipping-policy\"\u003eShipping policy\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/policies\/refund-policy\"\u003eReturns \u0026amp; refunds\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AetherCanvas® Feng Shui Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48394921967670,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/0790\/4822\/files\/silk-wrapped-flower-brooch-peony-01.webp?v=1793328276","url":"https:\/\/aethercanvas.art\/products\/silk-wrapped-flower-brooch-peony","provider":"AetherCanvas® Feng Shui Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
