A velveteen panel, circa 1890

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 top applied with Velcro; the selvage edges to either side folded over; the raw edge at the bottom with some minor fraying as expected; persistent crease/fold-lines, particularly running lengthwise down the center of the panel. A few scattered spots of rust-colored staining to the right side, and further yellow spotting and staining to the wrong side.
