[QUOTE="blooey, post: 1018331, member: 12007"]Another item from my horse-trading session yesterday, although this one was not seen as having much value by my host so was pretty much free for the taking. Asked me if any of my Chinese friends would like to wear it .. I knew no-one would but said "yes, for sure" anyway :shy: ..Not super old, I've had older ones before ..but old enough - a Ching era robe, likely from the Empress Dowager Cixi's time, late19th/early 20thc. A little worse for wear here and there plus the front is a bit sun-faded ..no biggie though, I still think it's a nice thing. here's a few pix: [ATTACH=full]207439[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]207440[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]207441[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]207442[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
