She owned hundreds of silk robes, always beautifully embroidered in fabulous colours 🧵 🦚 The swooping peacock and phoenix motif was inspired by designs from Meiji-period Japanese kimonos, while contact with Europe introduced aniline dyes and expanded the colours that could be worn. These various influences make this robe a truly global object, which reflected the power and influence of China’s Qing Dynasty court. Explore the innovation and influence of 19th-century China in our upcoming exhibition #ChinasHiddenCentury. Cixi’s robe will feature alongside art, newspapers, furniture – even soup ingredients – illuminating the lives of individuals who lived in late imperial China. ⏳ There’s just one week left to save at least 10% on your ticket for #ChinasHiddenCentury – visit the link in our bio to book with an early bird discount. 🔎 Empress Dowager Cixi’s robe, China, about 1880–1908 © The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. #BritishMuseum #Fashion」4月13日 23時30分
