Need helping dating a Chinese robe

This silk embroidered robe was handed down to me from my grandmother. I don’t have an idea of the age. The embroidery looks like a couching technique. The threads look like metallic. Can anyone give me more information about this robe? Thank you very much!

 

We have a similar coat in our collection using the same technique of embroidery, but with fur trim at the collar and cuffs. I thought it was prewar, probably late 20s, but then an 'expert' on Chinese embroidery saw it and dismissed it as postwar and didn't think it was much of anything. I was a little taken aback by his response, but I am not sure if he was right...
