Condition
 
Used but still in good condition for it's age. The only thing to note is that on the center motifs from top to bottom you will see some wear to the silk and a couple of breakes with missing silk due to age and a few small age spots at the bottom of the applique.  At the side motifs you will see some slight wear to the silk fabric that has exposed the silk fabric. Nothing major. Still has a good appearance.
