Condition Report:

This rug is in exceptional condition with a full and consistent pile over the entire rug. There are a few specks of minor (old) moth damage. The original fringe was removed at some point during its past, it has been replaced with a genuine period reproduction cotton fringe woven exclusively by Shaneybrook.

This rug has been professionally hand cleaned by our own conservation team with a restorative thorough washing adhering to National Institute of Textiles and AIC (American Institute for the Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works) guidelines. The protein and lanolin based soap conditions the natural fibres in the rug and returns the original lustrous character and richness of colour to the wool. No steam extraction methods or chemical detergents were used during the cleaning process. Ever step possible was taken to preserve the historic nature and conserve the rugs condition.
