Shunzhi Year 18(1661) Imperial Edict in form of silk scroll, written in Chinese, conferring the honorary title of Lady to the wife of the naval commander stationed at Yangtze River, applied with bilingual “Imperial Decrees” red seal. Despite the Manchu text part was trimmed, the essential Chinese text was reserved and presents in nice condition. In Mar 2025 AVA Spring sale, another imperial edict dated Kangxi Year 23 was hammered at HKD$30000. This one, however, dated even earlier. 順治十八年（1661）誥命，授操江提督淑人李氏為“夫人”，五彩織錦，鈐“制誥之寳”。雖然僅留下中文部分，但品相上佳，字體及內容清晰。2025年3月艾華春拍中，一件相似的康熙廿三年誥命以港幣3萬元落槌。此件年份更早。
