Purchasing information
    The frame displays expected general surface wear, marks and scratches and the silver is also quite tarnished with residues of polish. A few minor surface dints and several small holes in the embossed decoration. The hallmarks are clear and legible. The faux leather reverse is very worn to some areas and there are tears in the fabric around the hinges of the easel stand. There is a pin missing so the hinges are very loose, although the frame does still stand.
