The rug has full consistent pile over the entire rug without even the slightest wear. The rug is free of stains or odors, animal or otherwise. There are a few minor specks of moth damage on the lower right corner (as shown) - otherwise the rug is simply perfect.

The original fringe is intact but shows some wear and loss - it is recommended to be replaced with a genuine wilton fringe.

As shown, the original silk labels are attached on the back of the rug.

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.
