Hi-

They are all hand stitched. The background and reverse are cotton, and the figures are sometimes silk, sometimes felt, and sometimes cotton. It isn't layered ouver a dungaree material - there seem to be three layers of cotton used to give the collars more stiffness - but the fabrics used are fairly light in weight.

Antique Questions Forum / Chinese Cloud Collars

Hi-

I purchased these four cloud collars in Shanghai about 15 years ago. They seem to be sized for a child (a boy, I'd imagine) and are anywhere from 8 to 10 inches across with neck holes about 3 or 4" across.

Does anyone have an idea of the dates they would have been made or what their value might be? Where might be the best place to sell them?

Thanks!
