Condition

This piece looks fantastic but there are some horizontal splits. If the piece was backed, and we can do that for you, it would look extremely good. Clearly on the right hand side there has been some braid, which has been removed, leaving a line. 20 in; 50 cm down from the top on the right hand side is a 5 in; 20 cm split. A small one a little lower down. On the right hand side 20 in; 50 cm from the bottom is another split 2 1/2 in; 6 cm wide.
