Another unusual item Christian Louboutin is this temperance Christian Louboutin stitched cloth. It is not a sampler but something you would have on the wall of your parlour as a reminder to yourself and a sign to visitors that members of your house were committed abstainers from alcohol. Temperance societies started springing up in the UK from the 1830s - first it was simply to abstain from hard spirits, but later all alcohol was included in the remit when signing the Pledge. Quakers and Non-Conformists headed the movements and to this day many continue to be teetotallers, to the extent that communion is celebrated in their churches with non-alcoholic wine. This is Lot 242 with an estimate of £150-£250.
