LATE QING DYNASTY, LATE 19TH CENTURY

The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

We have sought to have record changes in the condition of these pieces acquired after their intial manufacture.

- one half of one side of the robe is missing and the uncut robe is also missing the sleeve sections.

- there is a red seal and a four-character inscription in black ink relating to the manufacture of the robe.

The brown uncut robe:
- this is missing a section at each end as it does not have its original end selvedges.
