Description
Unofficial women’s summer jacket in dark blue silk, embroidered with peonies, China, late 19th century
This lightweight silk jacket is embroidered with blue silk threads in a design featuring peonies, butterflies, orchids and camellias. The edges of the garment are embellished with two decorative silk bands: one with a grey background embroidered with stylised motifs, the other with a blue background embroidered with chrysanthemums, Taoist symbols and auspicious motifs. These bands form a ruyi-head motif at the side slits of the jacket. The wide, straight sleeves are finished with grey satin bands embroidered with peonies, double gourds, birds and butterflies. The lining is made of blue damask silk decorated with peonies and butterflies. Two applied buttons made of a copper alloy, depicting a ruyi and a swastika, fasten the jacket at the front.
