Antique 19th C Hand Woven Chinese Dragon Summer Robe W Horseshoe Cuffs
ANTIQUE 19TH C HAND WOVEN CHINESE DRAGON SUMMER ROBE W HORSESHOE CUFFS. DATING TO THE LAST QUARTER OF THE 19TH CENTURY. THE MET MUSEUM AS WELL AS THE MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS IN BOSTON HAS SIMILAR SUMMER ROBES THAT DATE TO THE QING DYNASTY. FASHIONED OF A SILK TWILL BLUE MESH WEAVE AND IS WOVEN IN SILK FLOSS IN FIVE CLAW DRAGON PATTERNS WITH THE BOTTOM IN OCEAN WAVES AND MOUNTAINS WITH SYMBOLS OF URNS, SNAILS, CLOUDS, AND BATS VIRTUALY FULLY FILLING IN THE GROUND. THE ROBE CLOSES OFF TO THE SIDE WITH GOLD BUTTONS AND LOOP CLOSURES. THE COLLAR IS TRIMMED IN BLACK SILK TWILL WITH MATCHING EMBROIDERED DETAILING. THIS IS A MANS ROBE WITH THE SLEEVES EXTREMELY LONG WITH BLACK SILK ENDS IN STRIPED BANDS AND HORSESHOE CUFFS. ONLY THE CUFFS ARE LINED IN A BLUE SILK DAMASK. THE NECKLINE AND CUFFS ARE EDGED IN A METALLIC GOLD WEAVE. THERE ARE DRAGONS ON EACH SHOULDER WITH DRAGONS IN CENTER FRONT AND REAR AND BOTTOM ON EACH SIDE. I BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE EIGHT IF YOU DO NOT INCLUDE THE DRAGONS ON THE CUFFS AND COLLAR, WHICH WOULD INCREASE THE NUMBER. THERE IS A TWO INCH SIDE SEAM NEAR THE CLOSURE THAT IS IN NEED OF A STITCH, NO LOSS OF FABRIC, JUST STITCHING MISSING. THERE IS A MINOR STRETCH TO THE WEAVE UNDER EACH UNDER ARM, NO HOLES, JUST A SMALL SEPARATION OF WEFT THREADS. THE TOP ROUND BUTTON IS ALSO ABSENT, OTHERWISE PRISTINE, NO HOLES, NO FADING, COLORS ARE TRUE AND THE WEAVE IS TIGHT. EXCEPTIONAL MUSEUM QUALITY THAT IS RARELY SEEN. MEASURES A FULL 90 INCHES STRAIGHT ACROSS FROM CUFF TIP TO TIP. WE ARE NOW ALSO ON ETSY WITH A FULL SELECTION. FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM : JAMIEXMASJAMIEXMAS.
