Item Details

Description

A Chinese Imperial apricot-ground, consort’s formal court robe jifu, 19th century, embroidered in counted stitch with nine embroidered dragons, 147cm high and 97cm wide
The robe is finely worked in satin stitches in shades of blue, green, red, aubergine and ochre and couched vibrant gold threads with nine five-clawed dragons clutching or confronting flaming pearls amidst dense ruyi clouds interspersed with bats and the Eight Precious Things on both the front and back against an apricot ground. The matching dark blue-ground cuffs and collar are worked with further dragons amidst bats, clouds and waves, below blue silk sleeve extensions. The chapters on Imperial robes in the Historical Manuscript of the Qing dynasty, Qing Shi Gao æ?…å?ç??, contain a precise description of the nature and position of the decorative elements for a robe that find a counterpart in the robe included in this catalogue.

The Eight Precious Things were drawn from a large repertoire symbolise luck and prosperity, including the pearl representing good fortune, evolving over time into flaming coloured jewels, a lozenge, once an ancient headdress symbolising victory, often appearing in interlocking pairs, a stone chime, a ministerial emblem embodying upright values, homophone with qing è?? meaning congratulations, pair of books, symbol of learning, pairs of rhinoceros horns, symbolising happiness, artemisia leaf, symbolising good luck and prevention of diseases.

Provenance: Private European collection.
