Sold for £190

Some slight staining/discolouration to a section of the peacock fabric, some worn areas, particularly to the trim that have resulted in small holes. Hole/patched repair to the centre of the quilt - see image.
The quilt is constructed of two sections machine stitched together, possibly had a strip removed? - see the images on the reverse. All the finished edges are machine stitched except half of the bottom width from where the quilt has had its vertical stitched seam.
Unfortunately no provenance the vendor selling it, had had it for 20+ years and was down sizing.
