Lot 397: Large Rolled Textile Item in Protective Shipping Wrap
A large textile item, likely a carpet, area rug, or runner, presented in its rolled and packed state. The item is encased in a protective layer of white, cross-hatched woven synthetic shipping wrap, which is secured by two hand-torn strips of blue fabric acting as ties. Clear plastic sheeting is visible at one end, providing additional internal protection. The object is contained within a long, rectangular corrugated cardboard shipping box. Due to the packaging, the internal material, weave, pattern, and origin are not visible. A printed instruction manual for an unrelated electrical heating appliance is visible in the background but is not part of this lot. No maker’s marks, signatures, or labels are visible on the exterior packaging or the exposed sections of the textile.
Condition report:
The item is currently rolled and wrapped, preventing a full inspection of the textile surface. The outer woven shipping wrap shows surface dust and some darkening (photo 1), consistent with handling and storage. The cardboard box shows typical signs of wear for a shipping container, including creasing and compression. The internal condition of the textile, including the pile, edges, and underside, remains unexamined.
