Chair cover of brocaded taupe satin woven so that the design will appear in proper perspective on the front of the cahir, and on the strip that hangs down the back. Design of two 4-clawed dragons and a phoenix in gold and colors; lily bulbs, loose clouds and various good luck symbols in shades of blue, red, pink, yellow and green. The seat, apron and back areas are marked off one from the other by a band of running peony design in blue. Lining of deep gold-colored figured silk.
