I would say that is cheap. 18-th century, such a unique thing - if still in good condition, not a fake (and silk, as I understand it, is extremely difficult to forge, if at all possible) - should cost much more. But, apparently, yet not too good condition. If silk and wiped the image faded, it seems, the price is right. Silk in fact impossible to restore. In the same St. Petersburg in the palaces of the old silk wallpaper change on the replica. And rightly so, in my opinion. Because those old silk wallpaper without tears will not look. From them, nothing left. And not because they were kept in poor conditions. Just silk is not preserved for so many years, as you it may contain. Probably, and now sell all those old panels, which have replaced the replica. Then just do not mind. And the price is right. Moreover, suppose that for this price will be difficult to sell. Decorative element, no - they can not see anything. And who are they needed then?
