Not since the Huangchao Liqi Tushi was written have we seen a more stunning look at the colors, designs, and insignias of China’s last imperial dynasty.
In 1759, the Qianlong Emperor of China commissioned a catalog of comprehensive, illustrated regulations for ceremonial garments and accessories worn by the members of the imperial household.
With detailed s and exquisite illustrations, this invaluable reference preserves the fashionable side of China’s dynastic history for generations to come. With beautiful color illustrations culled from public and private collections and a helpful glossary of Chinese terms, Imperial Wardrobe is an ideal reference book for collectors, scholars, and Chinese history enthusiasts.
