Authentic vintage Ivorex (Osborne) three-dimensional wall plaque titled “Auld Brig o’ Doon Alloway”.

Good overall vintage condition. The relief detail remains clear and the colours are still attractive. There is light age-related wear to the frame edges and a few small chips/scuffs consistent with age (visible in the photos). No major cracks or repairs. Ready to hang.
