Condition

Fresh in appearance. There are a few areas of light very feint brown markings. There is one light stripe from top to bottom and with slight colour to the right of that stripe.  These might come out if the fabric was washed, but this would entail removing the beautifully attached and perfect colouring green border, which I am reluctant to do. Photos on request.
