A padded purple silk 'Changyi' ladies’ robe China, Guangxu period B. 123 cm / L. 134 cm Silk damask (purple), padded, stitched through, lining: light blue silk. Embroidered and woven trim. Sleeve bands: silk satin (white); embroidery: silk (colored), satin stitch. Bronze ball buttons. This type of robe was intended for everyday wear; padded robes were worn in winter. The silk damask is patterned with large dragon medallions. In addition, the embroidered trim featuring numerous flowers and butterflies, along with the woven trims, adorn the robe. Such robes were usually worn over other garments. In terms of color scheme and design, this robe can be attributed to the circle of Empress Dowager Cixi (1835-1908) and was certainly intended for a lady of high standing. A distinctive feature is the very wide sleeve bands, which were folded back. The short sleeve length makes it clear that the robe was worn over other layers. Formerly part of a private German collection - Only slight signs of age and wear
