Item History & Price

Antique Chinese Silk Robe
possibly from the first half of the 20th cen.
Bright red silk embroidered with beautiful sky-blue dragons,
with a dark-blue border and golden dragons and pearls on it.
Yellow lining, feels like cotton.
There are some tailor/owner signatures on the lining near the collar, but quite faint.
Height (incl collar) 135cm approx
The robe is in reasonable/ fair condition for its age,
some imperfections include wear... ad tear by one shoulder above one sleeve (as shown), a mark along one sleeve edge, a stain at the front on the left side (looks inky but faded), wear on the edge of collar, some wear around the buttons/loops and genertal wear on sleeve cuffs with a little tear, a loose thread on one ebroidered motif (photo) - I've shown most of these on photos, please zoom! I have a limit for photos here so can't show every minor fault but overall the robe in fair but n ot perfect condition - so please only bid if you don't expect perfection!
The colours are very strong and bright!
Lining in good condition, a little faded.
The garment is heavy and I only post with insurance, so the postage cost quite high but actually undervalued. Happy for a buyer to collect locally (ask for locations as I could travel around).
Bin offers - above starting price please.
