SIGNED 'ABBAS KAMAL AFTADAH (?), OTTOMAN TURKEY OR THE BALKANS, DATED AH 1275/1858-59 AD

The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

The blue paper is warped all over as if the surface suffered from heat or humidity. There is a loss of paper which is about 5cm in length and 4mm in width along the left side, affecting the top line of text. There are a few other minor losses around the edges. The edges are encrusted with surface dirt. The gilt ink is affected by this surface dirt. The condition should improve if the panel was professionally cleaned, restored and mounted.
