18TH CENTURY

拍品的狀況可能存在極大差異，而由於其性質使然，拍品難以處於完美無瑕的狀態。拍品均以拍賣時的狀況出售。

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.

Icy-Blue: With a few small tears and holes scattered. Areas where the silk is quite worn with small mends and consequential fraying to the silk. There are scattered areas of discoloration and staining -- some central and quite apparent. The edges are raw and un-hemmed. There is slight separation to some seams. 92¹⁄₂ in. (235 cm) long, 85¹⁄₂ in. (217.2 cm) wide

Crimson: In good condition overall; with overall light surface soiling with a few areas of dark discoloration, and minor rubbing to the silk. Very minor fraying to the fringe edge, and the complimentary silk lining with typical soiling; 91¹⁄₄ in. (231.8 cm) long, 83 in. (210.8 cm) wide

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.
