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 wall hanging with a few loose threads and light fraying to throughout. There are a few small tears to the olive green wool ground near the central medallion. 42 in. (107 cm) long x 44 in. (112 cm) wide
The large panel with some splitting at the seams, as to be expected. There is wear scattered to the silk embroidered design. With scattered soiling, including a few black marks at the extreme edges. The parrot green silk with fraying at the edges as well. 1571⁄2 in. (400 cm) long; 931⁄2 in. (237.5 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.
