19TH CENTURY

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.

Please note antique textiles exhibit wear, losses, soiling and tears from normal use and repurposing. Some elements are re-pieced together with complimentary or contemporaneous textiles to mend.

The bed cover composed of three seamed panels. Silk 19th century, later made into a bed cover (late 20th century). Some shattering and wear to silk ground throughout and the later wide binding now partially detached and needing restoration. The bolster in overall good condition; some minor pulling, stains and losses. The three throw cushions of modern fabric with 19th century metallic trim.

54 in. (137.2 cm.) long (the bolster)

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.
