The embroidery is complete and in good order - the design is fully worked, the raised stitching stands proud and is not crushed or flattened, and there are no missing stitches, pulls or holes visible in the photographs. The ground cloth is taut behind the glazing. The frame is sound and square. The gold finish is lightly rubbed at the outer edges and the corners, and the black-and-gold liner is complete on all four sides. The glazing is clear and unbroken. The reverse is where the wear is. The black backing board is torn open in the centre - a ragged patch of about an inch, with the pale board underneath showing - and there is a small punched hole toward the lower right. Both are on the backing board only; the embroidery behind the glazing is untouched. The two D-ring hangers are present, screwed down and firm, and the metal turn tabs all hold. Measurements are approximate, taken with a tape alongside the piece. Shipping & Policies Ships fast and packed properly for the journey - glazed pieces go out taped, cornered and double boxed.
