This might be something more like a piece of art you hang from a rod in your living room than something to wear. This has the Gumps of San Francisco label on it. Gumps (founded in 1861 and out of business in 2018 by brothers Solomon and Gustav) was run by Solomon’s son Alfred. He had a love of all things Oriental and began stocking his store with all manner of collectibles to sell to the new millionaires of San Francisco. This robe is of that era. The robe may be earlier. My best guess is the robe was already vintage at the time and Gump’s sewed their label into it rather than it being made for Gump’s. Robe is black silk with heavy couched gold thread embroidery. The dragons are fantastic with the embroidery being so heavy that they’re almost 3D. Parts of them are quite raised with knotwork. There are dragons chasing the flaming pearl. The robe is lined in purple silk. Most of that is intact except where it meets the outer fabric–at the sleeve ends and collar. Perhaps with a lighter silk lining and a heavier silk outer fabric it was just inevitable that it would tear away from it. The gold threads are coming loose around the collar but the rest of the embroidery is mainly intact and just gorgeous! The sleeve end to sleeve end is 60 inches and from shoulder to hem is 44 inches. Has brass ball closures. This is in excellent shape. It might have a loose thread or two just because of the sheer amount of embroidery but really looks like it was never worn.
