Lot Essay

The present roundel, featuring two entwined chilong, may have been intended for a prince second in line to the throne. As so-called "Grandson of the Emperor" badges are believed to have been produced only in the later Qing dynasty, this example may date to the reign of the Daoguang emperor. For a robe with similarly rendered shou roundels featuring double chilong, possibly made for the consort of such a prince, see D. Hugus, Chinese Rank Badges: Symbols of Power, Wealth, and Intellect in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Hong Kong, 2021, p. 123, fig. 13.19. See also a comparable 'shou and chilong' roundel sold at Christie's New York, 23 September 2022, lot 862.
