CIRCA 1760

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.

First segment, with areas of discoloration and soiling throughout, some pronounced. With irregular top and bottom edges. The join between two panels is separating. Scattered small pinholes and a few tears particularly to the edges. Creases with more extensive rubbing and wear as to be expected. The smaller two joined panels with small tears, and scattered discoloration or water marks. With creases and pleating at the top edge. Rubbing and wear in areas, concentrated to the edges as to be expected.

A: Three joined panels
56¹⁄₂ in. (143.5 cm) long, 56 in. (142.2 cm) wide

B: Two joined panels:
39¹⁄₂ in. long, 37¹⁄₂ in. 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
