Notes:
Thomas A. Heinz is considered the leading scholar on visionary American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, notably devoting attention to the study of Wright's furniture and interiors. In the 1970s Heinz began creating faithful reproductions of Wright’s designs using the original drawings and plans, first through his own company, Heinz & Co., and then eventually through Bexley Heath Ltd.

Multiple small drip stains scattered through one quadrant near a corner. A few drips elsewhere as well. Would probably benefit from a general cleaning. Evidence of minor cat claw and moth damage seen from back side.
