A remarkable vintage Blue Jiaxie (蓝夹缬) wedding quilt face from the Wenzhou area of southern Zhejiang, China, probably dating from around the mid-20th century. Size: 230cm x 190cm (90” x 75”) Blue Jiaxie is an extraordinary traditional form of carved-board resist dyeing . Long lengths of cotton were folded and tightly clamped between intricately carved wooden boards before being repeatedly immersed in blue dye. The protected areas remained pale, creating the wonderfully detailed blue-and-white designs. The finished cloth was then cut into four lengths and stitched together to form the quilt fac

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as BIGGS AND HILL LIMITED, number 14581594. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
