The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

Fair to good condition, no holes or losses, all with some spots and storage related yellowing and discolorations, most noticeable on Hermes linens; 18 white applique napkins possibly originally with green leaves now bleached white.

Ten white rectangular placemats embroidered with water lilies (19 ¾ in. x 16in.)
Ten matching napkins (17 ½ in. x 17 ½ in.)
Eight white rectangular D. Porthault placemats (22 ½ in. x 15 ½ in.)
Twelve white organdy shaped circular placemats (16 in. diameter)
Four matching napkins (19 in. x 18 in.)
Eighteen white napkins with green and white applique and eighteen matching napkins with white applique (19 ½ in. x 19 ½ in.)

Christie’s strongly suggests viewing this lot in person. You may wish to contact a professional textile conservator with any additional questions as we are unable to provide in-depth condition analysis.
