Below are images of the scrolls currently in Chris' collection. The "Overview Available Scrolls" gallery shows one image of each available scroll. You can see all images of each scroll by selecting it on this page. Double click on the image below. Once in the gallery, click the small images for a closer view. Advance using the forward arrow on your computer.
In each gallery you will also find the seller's notes indicating the size of the scroll and materials, silk vs paper being the primary note there. Although sellers do comment on the condition of the scrolls, these are often disclaimers and not necessarily accurate. The condition of the scroll is best determined by looking at the close up views and reading Chris' notes which include suggested value and any additional information she may have. Many of the scrolls in this collection were created before the war and a few are over one hundred years old. A majority of them have hung in a home and had an active life before coming to us. Even though some are in pristine condition, others have signs of age - stains or wrinkles, a tear or worn edge in the fabric border - a visible history. These flaws can usually be seen by looking closely at the detailed photos of a particular scroll. Chris knows the scrolls well and is happy to tell you more about their conditions.
