Condition: A few scratches/nicks on the frame, some stains or scratches inside the glass, and a bit of toning and *foxing, however nothing major.

*Foxing is an age-related process of deterioration that causes spots and browning on old paper documents such as books, postage stamps, and certificates. The name may derive from the fox-like reddish-brown color of the stains, or the rust chemical ferric oxide which may be involved. Paper so affected is said to be "foxed". Source: Wikipedia
