Condition
 
Left in "as found" condition. These shawls are very popular and widely collected. I am leaving restoration and cleaning up to the discretion of the customer. I believe this to be the best approach so tany stains or needed works can easily be identifiable in their original state. 
 
The shawl has one tiny pinhole in it which can be seen when held up to the light. There is one small hole just above the edge of the border.  There are a few small darker  stains which are identifiable in the photos. The background has color has aged in color with time. It was probably a white bacground originally. The borders are all in good condition without stains. 
 
Would be beautiful framed, upscaled or reproduced.
