    Hi Everyone,

    Just posting this beautiful embroidered Chinese rank badge, something that was worn to indicate a person's status. The dragon is four-toed, and from the reading I've done online, that could indicate a member of the royal household, i.e. the emperor's grandson or great grandson. This badge has been put under glass and framed in wood with metal handles - to be used as a tea tray. chinesedragonrankbadgeAA.JPG chineserankbadgeAAA.JPG chinesedragonrankbadgec.JPG The embroidered piece measures about 11" square. Can anyone help me with the age of this piece? Thanks!
