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 silk panel with scattered areas of light soiling and fading to the olive green pigments, barely noticeable. The short edges are slightly irregular and with frayed edges. Minor rubbing to the creases as to be expected. Overall a lovely example of English damask designs from Spitalfields.

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.
