A VICTORIAN SILK WORK PORTRAIT OF A DOG, POSSIBLY A KING CHARLES SPANIEL

Condition report: 

Unexamine out of frame and backing. The back is covered with a discoloured brown paper - which is invariably torn and worn. 

Fading to the silkwork built overall the threads seem to be in good o redeem, with no obvious loose patches or moth. The back ground is unusually faded and it is hard to explain without removing the picture from the frame. Please see additional images. 

The glass is probably later - and some small beaded moulding has fallen from the upper right corner of the slip, which remains behind the glass.
