Condition
 
The toile has been left in it's "as found" condition and the fabric has aged with a line of darker brown that crosses the middle.  We decided to leave the toile in uncleaned condition because the aged areas best suited the frame. 
 
Frame is in overall good condition except for a few areas of missing paint and age related marks.  Nothing I find distracting and only adds to it's charm.
 
The frame didn't have glass in it or a backing so we took it to our local frame shop in Avignon. The glass is new as well as the cardboad and acid free paper added to the back with metal pins to keep it in place.
