The textile has minor thread wear and small losses (visible in close-ups). There is a slight fading/mellowing of silk tones, mounting appears stable. The frame shows wear (see last photos). It may be cheaper to ship the textile without the frame. If you would like me to check for you, I am happy to do so. I have taken photos in direct sunlight and indoors in an effort to show the detailed stitching and how the colors change with lighting. I am happy to answer any questions you may have prior to purchase or to send more photos if needed. less
