Comments

Please correct me if this is not a medlar fruit. This would look really good stitched to a coarse linen or velvet and framed. We can do this for you.

This would have been sewn to a bedcurtain. See ARTICLES on Slips.

Condition

The only colour which apears to have faded very slightly is the green. Very good.
