o Note : There is a clean fracture to the decorative wood frame support near the top of the rear leg joint (secured by a period slot screw), which is stable but would benefit from wood glue/filler. The interior fabric backing shows vintage water staining and fading, making it a perfect canvas to be cleaned, painted, or lined with fresh heritage wallpaper.
