Condition

There are multiple tears in the silk throughout the embroidery.   The largest is 4" long and is located at the bottom.  There is an approx. 3" x 4" patch at the lower right corner.  The other tears in the embroidery range in size from 3" long to 1" long.   These tears are caused by the wear to the silk threads, which occurs with age.  TW 4-4-17
