EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Imperial consort's formal court robe, known as Chi fu, from the 19th century. Made of luxurious turquoise satin, this magnificent garment is adorned with intricate embroidery in silks and couched gilt thread. The centerpiece of the design features nine majestic gilt dragons gracefully entwined amidst scrolling clouds, symbolizing power and prosperity. Above them are red shou character symbols and bats, representing longevity and good fortune respectively. The sea-wave border adds a touch of elegance to this already mesmerizing piece. The craftsmanship displayed here is truly remarkable, showcasing the mastery of decorative techniques employed by Chinese artisans during that time period. Against a pristine white background in a studio setting, this robe stands out as a testament to Chinese artistry and imperial fashion. Its historical significance cannot be understated - it represents the grandeur and opulence associated with royalty in ancient China. This photograph captures not only the beauty of the garment but also its cultural importance. It serves as a reminder of China's rich history and artistic heritage.
