Cut in a dramatic dolman silhouette with sweeping bell sleeves, it’s worked entirely in hand embroidery — chrysanthemums and peonies rendered in satin stitch, their petals catching the light against a jacquard silk damask ground patterned with its own subtle floral repeat. Down the center front, elaborate couched gold metallic thread scrolls beneath a toothed border, fastened with fabric frogs and cast metal ball buttons. This is the kind of handwork you simply don’t find anymore — every petal individually stitched, every scroll of gold thread laid and tacked by hand. The interior is fully lined in matching ivory silk. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePieces like this were made in cities like Canton and Shanghai specifically for export, often purchased by Western travelers or sold through resort boutiques and department store specialty counters. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA rare wearable piece of textile history — equally suited to display or to wear as a truly show-stopping evening coat.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn overall excellent condition, clean and ready to wear. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e✂️ M E A S U R E M E N T S\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBust: up to 50”\/ sleeve inseam: 16\" \u003cbr\u003ewaist: up to 50\"\u003cbr\u003eHips: up to 60\"\u003cbr\u003eTotal Length: 42”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFits many \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel: none\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: silk \u003cbr\u003eCondition:  overall excellent, clean and ready to wear.
