Condition: Excellent for the age; some area of loose silk threads; several very small breaks to silk ground; silk backing unfolding but secured at the top.
Note: Needlework of this delicacy is best preserved beneath glass. They make excellent additions to painting collections. The panel can be mounted on silk or antique linen, with a frame of your choice. This treatment is a personal decision, and we will be happy to assist in the chosen presentation of this needlework.
