CONDITION: The rug shows a full consistent pile. There a few specks of old moth damage on the sides and ends edges. There is a stain at the center of one end, adjacent the border. The original fringe is short and missing in some areas - we recommend historically appropriate replacement fringe. CLEANING: This rug has been professionally hand cleaned by our conservation staff with a restorative thorough washing adhering to National Institute of Textiles and AIC (American Institute for the Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works) guidelines. 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.
