knocks and wear to the frame, corners have some losses Old frame and old glass When I bought this sampler it had slumped down inside the frame and the back board was loose. I repositioned the sampler and by means of sewing a grid network around the back board, it is now in a far better shape and I have re pinned and re-taped it to prevent any dust or ingress of any sort
Delivery
Delivery generally costs more than I charge and it Will be extremely well packaged. International buyers contact me if you have any questions or would like me to check carriage as some destinations may be less expensive than quoted or charged. The last sampler I sent to America cost £136 to ship not including 10% dpd charge. Each piece weighs differently and depends on the packaging used and overall size, but either way it ends up being expensive and is beyond my control. I re-use clean packaging.
