Antique Chinese Butterfly Peony Pomegranate Silk Embroidered Robe Coat. Tweet
|
This antique Chinese butterfly peony pomegranate silk embroidered robe coat dates from the 1920s. It is made of a black silk fabric, with colorful pastel silk raised padded satin stitch hand embroidery work of butterflies, peony flowers, pomegranates and floral basket vases. The butterfly and pomegranate represent love, long life & fertility. There are white silk figural embroidered sleeve band cuffs. This magnificent Manchu style surcourt robe is loose fitting, a long full length, with a high mandarin collar, long full wide sleeves, side skirt vents and round carved brass buttons for closure down the front. It is fully lined in blue silk. The robe measures 48 inches long, with 44 inch hips, waist and chest. It is in good wearable condition, but has not been cleaned, with some faint food stains down the front and some fraying staining on the sleeve band cuffs (see close-ups). The inside silk lining along the back neck has some fraying. This is truly a wonderful piece of antique Chinese textile art!
