Gim embroidery has been used during the reign of Paku Buwono X at the Surakarta Hadiningrat Palace and Hamengku Buwono VIII at the Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat Palace. This can be seen from traces of artifacts and documents explaining the existence of gim embroidery in those days. This study aims to identify and describe the gim embroidery in the goverment of Paku Buwono X in 1893-1939 and Hamengku Buwono VIII in 1921-1939 which has survived to the present day. The findings of this study will be used to look at motifs, patterns, materials, and techniques of gim embroidery as a development concept in the present. The research used a qualitative descriptive method by observing various gim embroidery artifacts in museums and documents during the reign of Paku Buwono X and Hamengku Buwono VIII. The findings show that the existence of gim embroidery on it was only used by the king and the king's family for important activities in the palace such as the king's chair, the clothes of the king's sons, the hats of war troops, objects used as the identity of the symbol of nobility. Motifs and patterns use a lot of patran with the development of artifial leaf, materials using smooth purl threads (fine gold gim threads) and gim embroidery techniques using padded couching (stuffing material) with a smooth and luxurious embroidery result. The conclusion of this study is that the palace in Java left traces of artifacts that can be seen directly, and the findings are very useful for knowledge, especially traditional embroidery crafts. This shows that the design can still be used today in the era of society 5.0.
