Condition Report:
This is an authentic, pre-owned vintage textile that is roughly 80+ years old. It has been preserved but does show minor signs of age and gentle use:
- Staining: There is some light, localized tan/yellow age-staining along the bottom border binding and a few minor spots on the sashing (please see close-up photos).
- Structure: The fabric feels strong and stable overall. Does have a few spots where it has tore or separated at CANsome of the stitching. It's is still in remarkable condition to be over 80 years old.
