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.

Overall with some sun fading. The pink silk ground with some minor areas of pulling and rubbing. The brocaded threads with areas of pulling and rubbing as expected with age. The metallic areas with losses to the metallic wrapping, revealing the base threads beneath. Lacking some tassels.

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.
