Antique Chinese Silk Embroidered Robe Late Qing Dynasty (c.18701910) Hand Embroidered Scenes Display or Restoration Piece
A remarkable antique Chinese silk robe dating from the late Qing Dynasty period (circa 18701910).
This piece is entirely hand embroidered with rich silk threads depicting scenic and symbolic motifs, including floral and decorative emblems. The embroidery was traditionally done with paper backing, and remnants of this can still be seen on the inside.
The robe is made from handwoven silk in a deep rust tone, now beautifully aged and discolored with signs of wear, fraying, and fading consistent with its great age. The embroidery panels and borders show fine craftsmanship, making it a superb collectors or framing piece.

A beautiful museum-quality textile that captures the artistry of the late Qing period. Rare to find in any condition ideal for collectors or those who appreciate antique Asian craftsmanship.
These robes were commonly made for high-status women or for the export market to Europe in the late 19th century. The orange-rust tone and fine embroidery suggest it may have been produced for merchant or ceremonial wear, rather than everyday use.
Store flat or gently folded in acid-free tissue.
Avoid hanging, as silk of this age can split under its own weight.
Do not attempt cleaning even gentle washing can destroy the dyes.
Great for textile collectors, museums, or decorators seeking antique silk embroideries for framing.
