Chinese Black-Ground Dragon Wedding Jacket.
The jacket of traditional form, tailored with a straight body and wide sleeves, finely embroidered on a black ground with auspicious motifs. The surface is richly decorated with dragons in pursuit of flaming pearls amidst scrolling clouds, interwoven with floral elements including peonies and lotus blooms, all rendered in vibrant silk threads. The dense embroidery creates a textured and dynamic composition, enhanced by subtle color gradations and intricate detailing. The borders are further embellished with patterned bands, framing the garment and reinforcing its ceremonial character. The overall design reflects themes of prosperity, harmony, and celebration associated with traditional wedding attire.
{Approximate dimensions: H 28 inches x W 29 1/8 inches (71.1 x 74 cm)}
