The colours are strong and the needlework very fine, petit point, there are no visible signs of damage. Within an old dark oak frame with gilt slips, the glass has some slight imperfections and air bubbles which should be expected with old glass. Some of the backing fabric is visible on the back of the frame and there is framing tape around the joints. There is a white cord attached to the hanging loops for hanging on the wall. And there is an old frame makers label to the back board
