 Condition
 
Left in "as found" condition. 
 
There is no damage/holes in the cloth and the embroidery work is intact for the most part with just a few threads that need to be tacked down. 
 
The cloth does show stains, soiling and age spots so it is in need of a professional clean and pressing. 
 
Decorative on it's own or perfect for upscaling and using for smaller projects.
