Condition

 

The fabric was made into a curtain at one time. Motifs are strong and even in color. You can see in the first photo how the background color is a lighter shade in color at the top half of the fabric and closer to the orginal color on the bottom half. No stains.

 

Two tiny holes off of center area and to one side. Nothing major.

 

The fabric has been given a long cold water soak to remove dust and dirt and a cold water wash using those famous Marseille soaps without bleaching agents.

 

It is our aim to preserve the color and integretity of the fabric since many of our fabrics are being reproduced.
