I like what you've done with the parchment texture. But the colors are still too vibrant to get the aged feel particularly the purple cap and the green foliage. Perhaps a bit of destaturation to tame them a bit?

Had it that way the first go around with a lot less saturation, client wanted more "pop", hence this version. They will be using the image for their antique business advertisement.

The client is always right, even when they arent.

Doesn't look very realistic. But Google is your friend. There are "About 20,300 results" for "Photoshop Parchment Textures" there. ;)
