Condition Report
The main ground is in remarkably good order given its age and it's original environment, however, the ground has a few small holes, the fabric is not rotten but by its nature fragile and the silk edge is a little tatty, the colours of the silks are still vibrant and fresh.
The backing cloth has a few small holes and I have tried to illustrate them in the supplied images
Please see all of the extra images supplied as I have taken the back and front in sections and taken close-ups of any obvious damage..
Note one of the images shows what appears to be a large mark or stain but this is of course a shadow of my head whilst taking the photograph
