[QUOTE="Jivvy, post: 435323, member: 8184"]phew, what a dreadful terrible horrible frame job. I suspect a lot of moisture damage as well. I'm not bothered by the brightness of the thread because if this was hung, I think it was hung in a cave. I would so badly want to take it out of its frame and give it some much needed TLC, but if the base is silk and it has rotted... the slightest wrong move can end in disaster. A warning given by someone who still remembers the small unremarkable silk she destroyed many many years ago. I suppose it could be a modern piece, but that's not the vibe I get.[/QUOTE]
