Need help figuring out about these antique silk embroidered Chinese textiles. They appear to be rank badge in appearance but I can find nothing similar to them.

The red one with what I think is a fenghuang bird measures 28 1/4” x 10 1/4”; red one with dragon measures 28 1/2" x 10 1/2”, and the white one measures 26 1/8” x 10 3/4”.

Beautiful! Are you certain they are chinese and not Persian? They look more Persian to me.

My son sais you have the emblem of the Long Dragon. Asian Dragan to North America. Research the Long Dragon and colors used. This should help determine the prominence and significance by design & colors. Very nice though...

Also research the asian Phoenix. Mythological bird that was revered.Your items contain strongly based religious mythologies.
