Hand Embroidered China Silk
Jacket
Buttery yellow China silk is profusely hand embroidered with the
same color silk thread in this cardigan style jacket, circa 1920.
The design elements
in this jacket are breathtaking. The central motif on the back of
the jacket has a dragon looking down on a large peacock perched in a
tree.
Chinese people are
gathered outside an Oriental building decorated with lanterns and a
fountain. All of these motifs are repeated on the front and
sleeves. The jacket is lined and bordered in butterscotch colored
silk chiffon.
This elegant and
wearable jacket is in excellent condition.
