More Information

Overall condition is tired. There is very heavy denting and splitting to the highpoints of the decoration - a small area of the silver is broken/missing in the top right hand corner of the example with the bride and groom photographed. The silver is coming away from the mount on the inside of the frames, but is pretty secure on the outside. The green velvet on both examples are very heavily worn, and has worn through to the wood at the corners of the frame and easel. Easel stands are both slightly wobbly, but do sit flat on a level surface.
