Antique 19th century Chinese Qing Dynasty Robe-Coat in a Manchu style. A dark purple satin Silk finely woven with clouds, swords, paper scrolls and other precious Buddhist and Taoist emblems and auspicious motifs bordered with finely embroidered bands with floral pattern and lined in light blue silk. Sleeves with yellow cuffs, panels gauzily embroidered with butterflies and flowers.
REFERENCES: (1)"Silks for Thrones and Altars" by Myrna Myers, page 66 and 67. (2) "In The Presence Of The Dragon Throne" by John E. Vollmer (3) "When Silk Was Gold" by James C.Y Watt & Anne Wardwell. Due to the fact that the market is flooded by reproductions of Chinese robes and older theatrical robes which for inexperienced collectors look the same, we would like to inform our clients that this is a 100% authentic antique Chinese Qing Dynasty Robe and not a reproduction, and is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. DIMENSIONS: Approximately when placed flat: Length: 101 cm (39 3/4 in), Width (distance from cuff-to-cuff): 118.5 cm (56. 5/8 in). CONDITION: The robe in general is in good condition considering its age with some slight age wear, there are some stains marks on the front of the lower left area of the robe and same buttons are missing. There are no holes or applied patches. This Robe comes from an old Canadian collection of Oriental Art, including many Chinese robe’s and related items which we are in the process of photographing and placing for sale for the first time.
