A gold-embroidered blue silk 'nine dragon' robe
19th century
The blue silk ground richly couched with gold-wrapped thread forming eight five-clawed dragons pursuing flaming pearls, the larger dragons across the chest and back both front-facing and each above a pedestal supporting a dish of two peaches beneath a bat, all amid cloud scrolls interspersed with bats, fans and shou roundels and above a border of standing water and rockwork at the hem and cuffs, the interior flap with a ninth dragon clambering upwards pursuing a pearl on a plain blue ground. 136cm (53½in) high
