Our Xiabu Embroidered Screen is crafted with a two-step core process: first, we weave the base fabric using premium Wanzai ramie (known as "China Grass") via traditional manual looms. The ramie undergoes natural dew-bleaching (a chemical-free method using morning dew to ferment and degum, keeping the fiber pure white and tough) and hand-spinning to form fine, even Xiabu yarns. The woven Xiabu base features a subtle, breathable texture with neat warp and weft, providing an ideal canvas for embroidery.
Next, skilled artisans perform hand embroidery on the Xiabu base, using natural silk threads in soft, long-lasting hues. Common embroidered motifs draw inspiration from Chinese traditional culture, such as blooming peonies (symbolizing prosperity), flying cranes (representing longevity), bamboo forests (signifying integrity), and landscape scenes of Jiangnan water towns. Each stitch is meticulous – a single 60x120cm screen requires 200+ hours of embroidery work, ensuring motifs are vivid, layered, and true to life. The screen frame is made of solid beech wood, polished smooth with a clear varnish to highlight the wood’s natural grain, and designed with a stable foldable structure for easy placement and storage. We offer three standard sizes: 60x90cm (small, for tabletop display), 60x120cm (medium, for room partition), and 80x150cm (large, for living room decoration), with custom size options available for bulk orders.
Dual Intangible Heritage Craftsmanship: Combines "Wanzai Xiabu Weaving Technique" (National Intangible Cultural Heritage) and traditional hand embroidery, supervised by national-level Xiabu inheritance consultants to ensure authenticity.
100% Natural Materials: Xiabu base made of pure ramie fiber (renewable and biodegradable), embroidery threads of natural silk, and a solid wood frame – no synthetic materials or harmful chemicals, meeting EU eco-friendly standards.
Exquisite Hand Embroidery: Each motif is hand-stitched with 4-6 types of embroidery stitches (such as satin stitch, stem stitch, and French knot), creating a three-dimensional, lifelike effect that machine embroidery cannot replicate.
Stable & Practical Structure: Foldable solid wood frame with anti-slip pads at the bottom, preventing scratches on floors and ensuring the screen stays upright even on slightly uneven surfaces.
Unique Artistic Style: The natural texture of Xiabu complements the delicate embroidery, forming a "rustic yet elegant" aesthetic that blends Chinese traditional charm with modern minimalism.
Home Partition: Creates a soft visual division in open spaces (e.g., separating the living room and dining area) without blocking light, thanks to the breathable Xiabu fabric.
Decorative Artwork: Serves as a focal point in home decor, adding cultural atmosphere to living rooms, studies, bedrooms, or even boutique hotels and cultural spaces.
Privacy Protection: Placed beside beds or sofas, it provides gentle privacy screening while maintaining air circulation (unlike solid screens that feel stuffy).
Cultural Gift: A meaningful present for occasions like housewarmings, weddings, or corporate events, especially for recipients who appreciate traditional art and international cultural artifacts.
Movable Display: Lightweight design (medium size weighs only 5kg) allows easy movement, enabling you to rearrange it according to seasonal decor changes or space needs.
Unmatched Cultural Value: Unlike mass-produced decorative screens, it carries over 1,600 years of Xiabu history and hand embroidery craftsmanship, with each piece having a unique "craft story" (we provide a certificate of craftsmanship with each screen).
Superior Durability: Hand-woven Xiabu is resistant to tearing and fading; natural silk embroidery threads are colorfast (won’t fade after long-term exposure to indirect light); the solid wood frame is termite-resistant and won’t warp easily.
Better Than Solid Screens: The breathable Xiabu fabric prevents moisture buildup in humid environments (e.g., bathrooms or coastal areas) and avoids making small spaces feel cramped, which is a common issue with solid wood or glass screens.
Customization Flexibility: We offer custom embroidery motifs (e.g., family crests, brand logos, or personalized scenes) and frame finishes (natural wood, dark walnut, or white paint) to meet specific customer needs.
Low Maintenance: Unlike delicate silk or paper screens, Xiabu is easy to clean – gently dust with a soft brush or wipe with a dry microfiber cloth; no need for frequent professional maintenance.
Residential Spaces: Living rooms (as a partition or wall decor), studies (to create a quiet, cultural atmosphere), bedrooms (for privacy screening beside beds), and balconies (as a decorative backdrop for plants).
Commercial Spaces: Boutique hotels, cultural cafes, tea houses, and museum gift shops – adding a touch of Chinese tradition to enhance the space’s unique character.
Cultural Events: Used as a decorative element in Chinese cultural exhibitions, traditional art fairs, or international cultural exchange events to showcase Chinese intangible heritage.
Gifting Scenarios: Ideal for housewarmings, anniversaries, Christmas, Chinese New Year, or corporate gifts (customizable with brand logos for business partners).
Display Collections: Valued by collectors of traditional Chinese crafts, textile art enthusiasts, or those who collect intangible heritage artifacts.
Q1: Is the Xiabu fabric easy to get dirty, and how to clean it?
A1: The natural ramie fiber of Xiabu has mild stain resistance. For light dust, use a soft-bristle brush to gently dust; for small stains, wipe with a slightly damp (not wet) microfiber cloth and air-dry immediately. Avoid machine washing or using detergents, as this may damage the embroidery and Xiabu texture.
Q2: Can the screen be used outdoors (e.g., a patio)?
A2: No. The screen is designed for indoor use only. Long-term outdoor exposure to rain, direct sunlight, or strong winds will fade the embroidery and warp the wood frame. If you need an outdoor decorative screen, please contact us for our specially treated outdoor-friendly version.
Q3: What is the lead time for custom-made Xiabu Embroidered Screens?
A3: Custom screens require 4-6 weeks of production time (depending on the complexity of the embroidery motif and size). We will provide a design sketch for your confirmation within 3 working days of receiving your order, and update you on the production progress every 2 weeks.
Q4: Is the screen easy to assemble?
A4: Yes. The screen comes pre-assembled – you just need to unfold the frame and place the anti-slip pads (included in the package) on the bottom feet. No additional tools or professional assembly are required.
Q5: Do you provide international shipping, and how to handle damage during transportation?
A5: We ship to most countries/regions (e.g., US, UK, France, Germany, Japan, South Korea) with professional packaging (using shock-absorbing foam and hard cartons) to prevent damage. If the screen is damaged during transportation, please take photos of the package and the damaged item within 48 hours of receipt, and we will arrange a free replacement or full refund.
