Description

A YELLOW SILK EMBROIDERED ‘DRAGON’ TUNIC, QING DYNASTY

China, late 19th century. The imperial yellow silk ground finely embroidered with gilt-wrapped thread, satin stitch, and Bejing knot, the front decorated with a five-clawed dragon encircling a flaming pearl, all above a band of lishui, and surrounded by bats and four of the eight Buddhist emblems scattered amid clouds and flames. The image framed by a border of panels enclosing figures, landscapes, and blossoms reserved on a gilt-couched ground, flanked to the sides by phoenixes above lishui. The motif repeated to the reverse, and the sleeves similarly decorated with dragons and lishui. The bottom lining filled with weights.

Provenance
: The collection of General Sir Herbert Vaughan Cox, acquired in China during his military service in the Boxer Rebellion (1899-1901), and thence by descent in the family. Herbert Vaughan Cox (1860-1923) was a British Indian Army officer educated at Charterhouse and Sandhurst. In 1900 he served in China during the Boxer Rebellion, taking part in the allied relief operations and receiving the China War Medal, presented in London in 1902. Cox collected Chinese textiles during his China service, including the present lot, and he was recorded as a British member of the Military Order of the Dragon, the society formed by U.S. veterans of the China Relief Expedition. He later commanded Indian and Australian brigades in the First World War, retiring as a General and receiving the GCB in 1921.
Condition: Good condition with minor wear, few tiny stains, little creasing, few open seams, some of the seams reinforced, few loose threads, and the interior with a small repair to the lower hem.

Dimensions: Length 86.5 cm, Width 133 cm (across sleeves)

Expert’s note:
The present lot is unusual in that it does not conform to the typical Chinese garment types, but rather is a short tunic. Unlike the long, side-fastening court and informal robes (jifu and chaofu), this piece is cut to be pulled over the head, with a broad front panel giving the impression of a central flap. Its proportions suggest that it was not made as a standard court robe but rather adapted, very likely tailored from panels or fragments of dragon robes. Such reworking was not uncommon in the early 20th century, when textiles brought back from China were altered for ease of wear or display. General Sir Herbert Vaughan Cox, who served in China during the Boxer Rebellion, possibly acquired the embroidered panels during his time there and had them fashioned into this unusual tunic form.
