それは古いもので、落ちにくい油性のシミですね。ご自宅でのケアは難しいかもしれません。
それはふるいもので、おちにくいゆせいのしみですね。ごじたくでのケアはむずかしいかもしれません。
That's an old, oil-based stain which is hard to remove. It might be difficult to care for at home.
Gesture & etiquette
Point gently to the stain with your finger without touching the fabric.
Do not touch or handle vintage items roughly. Always ask staff for permission to inspect closely.
