I cant speak much on this, I primarily stick to Japanese art but I can say that until the end of the Qing dynasty the two horned five clawed dragons were reserved for The Emperor and his family, lesser nobility used 4 claws and common people 3 so unless this was in fact owned by one of the emperors I would say its probably early China Republic. Sorry I cant be more help
