Description:**
Up for sale is an absolute museum-grade centerpiece of American magic history: an authentic, vintage 6-foot by 6-foot Imperial Dragon Stage Production Silk from Harold Rice\'s legendary Silk King Studios (SKS) of Ohio. This giant 6\'x6\' silk represents the absolute pinnacle of mid-century magic apparatus manufacturing. Creating a fabric of this immense size with this level of complex registration—capturing the individual green scales, the vibrant pink-to-red underbelly, the intricate claw shading, and the floating blue clouds—required highly specialized artistry. This massive fabric was built exclusively for high-end theater illusionists as a grand finale stage production. Because pure performance silk compresses down infinitely, a performer could pull this massive burst of color out of an empty cabinet, mirror box, or hat to anchor their final curtain call.**Item Specifics:**
- Brand: Silk King Studios (SKS) Original
- Size: Giant Stage Size (Approximately 6 feet by 6 feet / 72\" x 72\")
- Era: Circa 1950s - 1970s
- Material: 100% Pure, Premium Performance Japanese Silk
- Hallmark: Features the crisp, original \"SKS in a box\" logo stamped cleanly on the corner border.**Condition Report:**
Please review the photos carefully. This silk is in remarkable vintage condition, retaining breathtaking, museum-quality color depth and deep dye saturation.- Flaws: Tested under outdoor natural light. Features two minor vintage stage-use blemishes typical for pure Japanese performance silk of this era. One is a small edge-split in the outer yellow field (see close-up), and the second is a tiny, localized stress pull/friction rub right along a section of the dragon\'s red spine graphic (clearly documented in back-lit close-up photos). The main artwork remains exceptionally bright, solid, and structurally fluid. Invisible from a standard stage or display distance.**Shipping & Handling:**
Ships securely and loosely packed via USPS with full tracking and insurance to prevent creasing. I am currently listing an entire master archive of high-end vintage magic silks from this same estate. Please check my other sales for the matching 6-foot SKS Rabbit in Hat, Tannen sets, and Symphony streamers.
