CONDITION: The rug shows a full consistent pile with one minor low area towards one end/corner of the field. There is slight old moth damage. The ends could use replacement fringe, but remnants of the original are intact in short areas on both ends. Within the field, there are two coffee or tea stains. 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.
