The present edgings would have been made for an Imperial yellow-ground dragon robe, which would have been worn by the Emperor or one of the highest-ranking members of his innermost family circle, on the occasion of formal or semi-formal events. See a yellow-ground kesi dragon robe, circa 1885, illustrated in Heaven's Embroidered Cloths, Hong Kong, 1995, pp.236-237.
