Condition
Illustration is quite accurate.
As said in the catalogue, the tapestry has probably been reduced in its upper part (traces in the upper part border).
Light colours have faded away (especially in the back ground), but foliage and flowers colours are still fresh and vivid.
Old patched restorations. Minor wears in places.
This tapestry is lined.
Good overall condition.
