A very large and Beautiful Imperial Chinese dragon robe. I was told this robe was made during early 19th century Qing dynasty. Woven with 9 gold thread dragons in pursuit of pearls among multicolour silk clouds, bats, and Daoist symbols above wave and rock band. Complete blue silk original lining. Excellent workmanship with very high skill techniques. Wonderful bright multi-colour combination in very good condition. Just missing one button, some lost and loose thread at sites near shouders, wear and tear but overall a very nice 200 years old example as can be seen in the pictures . This very large size robe measures 223cm x 130cm.
