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.

A rare survival. Overall with some staining, discoloration around the edges of the picture. The ground silk with some further minor spot staining, shattering and losses, particularly around the edges. The needlework with some losses, rubbing, and snags revealing ground and guide marks in areas. The metallic threads tarnished and revealing base thread in areas. Could benefit overall from stabilization as desired. The frame with rubbing and losses to japanned decoration, but structurally sound and ready to hang. Please note that Christie's does not guarantee the condition of frames.
