- In very good antique condition. This piece is very, very old and shows signs of it's age. There is some sun-bleached fading on the pleats at the back, some rubbing off of velvet at the arm openings and some staining and discolouration of the homespun hemp lining. Overall, the exterior of the piece still presents beautifully, as you can see in the photos. The right person will adore this wounded bird and give it new life!
- I'm not gonna lie, I'm in love with this incredible piece and having a hard time parting with it! With all its little imperfections, it is still a gorgeous and very RARE antique piece of Slavic heritage, needing to be loved as the heirloom it deserves to be! This is heritage folk art that needs to live another day!
