I would also add a sheet to the back of the frame telling the history of this piece. Beautiful!

Do so agree with above.

I would frame the piece and not touch it with any sewing.

Wouldn't this make a wonderful headboard? With it's history might not work out, but...Oooh! the possibilities!

I agree with Candace. Anything beyond this will decrease the value. I think you should explain this to the owner as well. If they opt for any of your other options then that is up to them. But if it was me, I would not touch it.

I must say this is a magnificant piece of work!

Especially since it seems to have at least sentimental value. But this is just me. If you frame it I would either type out or if you have great handwriting, write the story behind it and then have that frames with it.
I agree with making sure the history is with it when framed, that way all generations know there history. God bless.
