Beautiful red damask silk ground embroidered with blue and white peonies and cherry blossoms, some completed with seed (forbidden) stitching. Trimmed with white silk embroidered with a variety of colorful birds. Armbands are covered in blue and white seed stitched flowers. Golden couching surrounds several of the flowers.
In fair vintage condition. Sold as-is. The original blue tissue silk lining is torn and... will need to be repaired or replaced. There are several large areas of soiling, the most noticeable at the front left shoulder as you’re looking at the robe. Some splits in the white trim, most noticeable at the collar and neckline. There is splitting at the side vents as well. The red silk looks torn near one of the vents. All brass buttons are present but it looks as though several of the silk loops have been replaced. Some are black silk, some are blue silk. The underarm seams are split and need restitched. Please use the zoom option on all photos to view the flaws.
NO RETURNS. SOLD AS-IS. Please ask any questions before buying or bidding. I am more than happy to provide additional photos or details that you may need.

My home is a smoke-free, pet friendly home with dogs and cats. I don’t know the history of most items I sell, but if I notice strong smoke or mildew odors, I will mention it in the condition notes. A stray piece of fur may end up on anything you buy from me even though I do my best to keep my animals away from my sale items. Please keep this in mind if you or anybody in your household is allergic to pet dander!
