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.

Overall fair condition. The needlework with areas of pulling, snags and losses, particularly to the silk floss. The silver filé now tarnished as expected with age. Some possible minor areas of re-stitching. The silk faille ground is comprised by four 10 in. wide panels. The ground with areas of staining, splits repairs and losses. A rare surviving example, retaining lovely colors. Not examined out of frame. Please note that Christie's does not guarantee the condition of frames.
