The rug has a low pile along its center (from end to end) with its sides being of higher pile height. The side salvage also shows some wear, though it is structurally intact and secure (as shown). The rug currently has no fringe (though a recommended replacement fringe is shown). The rug is free of stains or odors, animal or otherwise.

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.
