CONDITION: The rug has an exceptional full consistent pile with no wear or low areas whatsoever. There are several specks of old moth damage, a two inch repaired break at one end and ten inches of missing side salvage along one side. The original fringe is completely gone -- we recommend a genuine replacement knotted cotton wilton 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. For more information on our unique cleaning process, please see 'cleaning' in the 'services' section of our website.
