Minerals: A large green nephrite freeform 82cm wide 68kg Tools and amulets made of Nephrite date back to Early Neolithic times. For centuries, jadeite and nephrite were considered the same and were not identified as different until 1863 with a difference in colour and a small variation on the Mohs hardness scale. Nephrite can be found in a translucent white to very light yellow form which is known in China as mutton fat jade, in an opaque white to very light brown or grey which is known as chicken bone jade, as well as in a variety of green colours. It was much prized in Chinese culture and used for utilitarian and ceremonial items. It was revered in other cultures including the Maoris in New Zealand, where it is called greenstone and the native North American Indians of British Columbia, both of whom used Nephrite for tools before the arrival of the Europeans and for ceremonial jewellery and carvings.

Lot 118
A robe à la Française, the silk 1730s, the construction French, 1750-60, woven with large-scale naturalistic flower-heads, the open robe with broad box pleats to the back, graduated robing panels which run from bodice to hem, single engageants, all edged with coloured silk fly braid; with near matching petticoat of ivory damask silk with deep floral border and stomacher made from matching silk (3) CONDITION REPORT: Dress: Most dresses of this period have suffered alterations to a degree. Fabric- generally good, some of the back 'branches' have eroded. Perspiration stains at underarms. The natural linen lining appears to be original- all of the stitches are made by hand, but I think the armholes and sleeves where they are attached have been cut and re-set, probably to remove stained areas. The 'tail' of the bodice lining has been cut, shortened, and folded back. The front bodice closure edges have been folded back and tacked inside to make the bodice narrower. Round lead weights from the cuffs have been removed. Engageants trimmed with fly braids are good but there are patched repairs to the ivory silk lining on both. Front skirt- both front hem edges show crease lines where it was folded over in the past and then unpicked and put back to original level. The front skirt has pleats which are tacked in place at intervals which are not original. Lower hem level robings have been added using the near similar petticoat silk- not immediately noticeable. The silk lining to the inside skirt opening edges has been re-done using matching 18th century silk. Back of the dress- box pleats are good and look unaltered with good symmetrical pattern, matching fabric is generally good. Two small spot stains at centre back pleats and another to right side of pleats (minor). The rear hem has an unusual horizontal seam- 18cm up from hem edge, however it is all hand sewn and may just be a frugal use of fabric. Black threads are heavily eroded over sleeves but generally good down the main body of the dress itself with just minor losses. Petticoat- Made of similar but not identical brocade. Colours are good. Fine splits in damask ground above front hem border. Occasional fine split in brocaded area, the largest 2.5cm long. Small hole in damask satin below waistband area. Petticoat has been shortened by folding over the silk at the top. I suspect is was originally wider also. Stomacher- has been formed from two joined panels of brocade that matched the petticoat. It is backed in coarse pale pink dyed linen. The silk is somewhat 'cockled'; it doesn't sit flat. Silk is slightly worn along creases. There are patched repairs on far left and right sides. I am unsure of the date of the construction of the stomacher.

Silk lining is split in places along hem edge - minor. Petticoat panel - taken apart from other panel used on other matching dress. Faint stain to centre above hem with holes within - although because the pattern is busy - not immediately noticeable.
