The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
The website illustrations are accurate despite being slightly too yellow.
There are some minor wears, marks, stains and tears consistent with age and standing.
As stated in the catalogue with several restorations especially visible in the green background.
There is a part (approx. 30 cm.) which has been re-woven to the middle part of the top.
This piece is partly discolored and faded in some places especially to both creatures and to the yellows.
There are some minor wears especially to the green background and wear more visible to the top border.
The tapestry has been lined. The lining is detached with distressed areas to the top. Would benefit from a restoration to the lining.
Otherwise a very impressive tapestry, very original in its subject.
