Slight darkening of the ground in the top left corner. No stitch losses. A loose thread, by one plant pot. Colours are all good and strong with no noticeable fading. No colour run. Neatly and evenly stretched. Frame showing some wear, but is structurally sound and in our opinion could be hung 'as is'. less
