Dear nicholas,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry and for your patience.
This is an embroidered Chestnut Silk Dragon Robe, China, early 20th C. Richly embroidered silk with dark lining and vivid colors at the end. Decorated with five-clawed dragons couched in gold thread rising above a billowing lishui border. Auspicious Buddhist symbols embroidered in peking knot stitch. Size: 4'7'' x 4'4'' (140 x 132 cm).
Very good condition.
