Item Details

Description

Chinese Embroidered Surcoat, Late 19th Century: Silk on silk. Size: 42'' x 54'' (107 x 137 cm). This elegant surcoat, intended for informal occasions, was crafted for Han Chinese women in the late 19th century. It is a calf-length garment featuring a center front opening, wide sleeves enhanced with sleeve bands, and fastened with three loops and toggle buttons for convenience.The surcoat is constructed from a delicate light lavender silk satin, with exquisite blue floral embroidery thoughtfully interspersed with shou charactersâ€”a symbol of longevity and good fortune. The edges of the surcoat are meticulously adorned with various floral motifs, mirroring the intricate patterns found on the sleeve bands. The use of a diverse blue color palette contributes to a gentle and nuanced shading effect, adding depth and richness to the overall design. The embroidery work on this surcoat is a testament to the artistry of Chinese craftsmanship, with satin stitch, French knots, and couched metallic threads expertly employed to create a visually captivating and culturally significant piece of clothing.
