Looks to be in honest untouched condition, the centre panel has shifted to the right leaving a gap showing down the left hand side, this should be re-adjustable, otherwise painted finish has discoloured from bright cream down to a light beige tone, one would image that a cautious clean would reveal much brigher colours throughout, the edges around the frame are rubbed and there is a small patched replacement done many years ago in the lower left corner. The edges around the frame are rubbed and there is a small patched replacement done many years ago in the lower left corner, some areas of paint have been rubbed away mostly across the bottom of the frame, numerous small old chips dents and breaks scattered around the frame, but overall this is in honest order, the back of the frame has a painted possibly initialled cartouche, and further echo's of the design to the front, back also shows some L shaped metal plates later added to strengthen the frame.
