Measurements
 
From top to bottom
 
2 meters 18 cm 
 
The width is
 
81.5 cm (still has the selvage at both sides). .
 
Condition
 
Left in "as found" condition and has not been laundered. Good clean appearance with no obvious stains. Colors strong and consistant. 
 
The fabric appears to have been used as a curtain at one time. 
 
A few smaller holes along the top and bottom edge. A couple of tiny pinholes in and around the middle of the fabric which can be seen when the fabric is held up to the light. Some tiny age spots along top edge. Nothing major. For the most part in very good condition other than what I stated above. 
 
Colors were probably shades of purple at one time but have now lightened evenly with age. No fade spots.
