Cream Silk Satin Chinese Child's Jacket Set

Fin de Siecle / Gibson Girl · 1900s · Chinese

A child's traditional Chinese ensemble consisting of a straight-cut jacket and matching trousers in cream silk satin. The jacket features wide sleeves, a round neckline, and center-front opening with traditional toggle closures. Navy blue silk borders frame the neckline, sleeves, and hem, decorated with geometric patterns. The cream ground is embellished with scattered floral motifs in coral, pink, blue, and green, featuring peonies, chrysanthemums, and other traditional Chinese flowers with accompanying foliage. The matching trousers have straight legs with navy blue cuffs that echo the jacket's border treatment. The construction shows hand-sewn seams typical of early 20th century Chinese children's formal wear.
