China, length c. 112, shoulder with sleeve length c. 175 cm, 18th century, made of silk damask with pattern weft threads, silk embroidery manufactured with gold and silver threads in appliqué technique, on the grounds of its cut the present lady’s robe was presumably used in the summer, the patterned orange silk fabric is embroidered with four-clawed dragons and phoenix motifs, the diagonal lines representing deep water reach into the lower end of the garment, above which are the classic wave and mountain motifs representing the Chinese cosmic world, the robe is authentic and was formerly worn, hence the minor signs of wear in the pattern do not detract from its value, the inside is lined with beige silk.
