Condition Report
Condition:
THE FIRST
The overall condition is fair with several missing areas of straw at the back of the bonnet. The fabric is in good condition and is intact with some soiling under the chin on the ties. The crinoline at the crown is moderately soiled due to wear.
THE SECOND
The overall condition is good structurally though there is heavy soiling throughout the bonnet interior and exterior. The back cinch casing along the neckline has some missing sections but remains largely intact.
THE THIRD
The overall condition is good structurally though the velvet is noticeably worn along most all of the folds along the top.
THE FOURTH
The overall condition is fair with several areas of wear along the pin tucks on the brim, worn felted wool on the tail with missing neck ties, and heavily soiled interior. There is also a repair made in the front right of the front brim.
THE FIFTH
The overall condition is very good with some minor age-related darkening.
THE SIXTH
The overall condition is very good with some light soiling on the left side of the crown and brim.
Everything is sold 'As Is’. The stated overall condition of the lot is based on the assumption that the wear is consistent with age and use. The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections, or the effects of aging. All other condition issues are stated above. To request additional working condition photos, please email couturecr@hindmanauctions.com with the lot number. Condition is a matter of opinion of the evaluator and should not be treated as a statement of fact. Clients must review and agree to the Conditions of Sale before participating in an auction.
