Deux robes en soie brodée jaune et rouge Chine, dynastie Qing, XIXE siècle

le plastron, les épaules et le dos brodés en fil d'or de dragons à cinq griffes lovés autour de la perle sacrée, le bas décoré de flots tumultueux et nuages surmontés de deux dragons, le fond à décor de pêches auspicieuses, chauffes-souris en vol, nuages stylisés et symboles shou

Please note that these robes are modern copies after 19th century originals and not of the period. The condition is good as expected for recent pieces, the collar and frieze on the chest are covering part of the imperial symbols. The actual colours are more vivid than the illustration would suggest in the catalogue.
