CARE: Professionally dry clean.

CONDITION: Good, especially for age! There are some overall nicks to the velvet, but some of these could be remedied with a lengthy steam (from the inside out!). There is some thinning to the velvet on the right elbow, and the left elbow has a beautiful, antique patch. None of these flaws take away from the beauty of this piece, which has plenty of wear left in it.
