Measurements:

8 3/4" H x 7 1/8" W x 1/2" D

Condition:

Very good vintage (antique?) condition with the artwork colors looking beautiful and vibrant. The silk "canvas" on one of the paintings is lightly darker than the other two. If you look closely at the "matte", you can see signs of where it was cut to frame the artwork. The frames have a little bit of minor wear. There is one noticeable dent on the lower right side of the crane image. The pheasant image's frame has a white paint drip on top of it. The paper backing has some rips but the eye hooks all seem to be secure. Overall, normal wear and fading for age. Please see all photos. See less
