Condition Report:
The wool tapestry is in excellent original condition, with no signs of degradation or damage to the stitched coloured wool. The colours are still vibrant and have not faded having been housed in a glass-fronted frame. The glass frame is intact, with no cracks or damage. The glass fronted floral gesso gilt wood frame is also in very good condition, with nominal old use marks to the leading edges, but nothing significant considering the age of the item. The frame retains the original hanging chain and it is ready to be hung.
