EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent Jade-ground Kesi lady's robe from the mid-19th century. The intricate textile artwork, created by the Chinese School in the 19th century, is now held in a private collection. Adorned with delicate butterflies fluttering amidst scattered flower baskets, flowers, and peach sprays, this robe exudes elegance and grace. What makes this piece even more remarkable is its vibrant turquoise color. In ancient China, this hue was typically reserved for high-ranking concubines and female members of the Imperial family. It symbolizes their elevated status and regal presence. The embroidery on this robe is nothing short of extraordinary. Every stitch reflects meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail. The combination of luxurious jade fabric with ornate floral motifs creates an opulent aesthetic that speaks volumes about the wearer's refined taste. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to a time when traditional dress played a significant role in defining one's identity and social standing. This exquisite garment serves as a testament to both Chinese fashion heritage and artistic excellence. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured every aspect of this stunning masterpiece - from its rich colors to its elaborate design - allowing us to appreciate its beauty without any commercial intent or use mentioned here.
