19世纪 蓝色丝绸外套镶金丝线

Dim.: 136 x 109 cm
Dia.: 27 cm (the embroidered dragon medallion)

Chinese robes were coveted by tourists in the 19th and early 20th century, who brought them back to Europe and America. As they are traditionally made with a loose cut, it was not uncommon for these buyers to tailor them in a slimmer, Western style, or to line them with fur to make an impressive coat.

Condition:
- The coat generally in good condition. The light blue silk lining of the collar slightly worn. The gold threaded collar with minimal fraying.
