What does this mean?

Dear Kathleen,

Your Kimono or robe is made in China first half 20th century. This is called the republic period. Objects from this era get more and more attention from collectors and dealers. Your robe is completely hand made and indeed made of silk. The embroidery is very nice and has good detail. This is important for buyers. I believe if your robe came to auction it would fetch a price around the estimate I gave above.

Do you have a similar item and want to know how much it’s worth?

Communicate directly with a qualified specialist and get a fair market valuation of your item, typically in 48 hours or less.
