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.
Panel A with metal hooks across the top for hanging. Sun-fading to one side; general minor soiling as expected with age and use, suggest getting cleaned. 863⁄4 in. (220.3 cm.) long, 36 in. (91.4 cm.) wide
Panel B also with metal hooks across the top for hanging. Scattered spot staining and general minor soiling as expected with age and use, suggest getting cleaned. 871⁄4 in. (221.6 cm.) long, 351⁄2 in. (90.2 cm.) wide
The bolster with uneven sun-fading, some separation at the seams, repairs, and heavy rubbing/splits to the fabric on the buttons. 50 in. (127 cm.) long, 10 in. (25.4 cm.) diameter
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.
