CONDITION : This textile is in as found, not washed condition with light storage dust. There are large pale brown stains on parts of this piece and pale pink bleeds from dye on this piece that may not wash fully. I recommend dry cleaning because of the wool pom poms. There are some missing bobbles. There are signs of time and use, but generally this textile is in fabulous condition for it's age! ~*~
