Condition wise it is very good, with only small areas of lower pile in places but in general the pile is high and durable. No repairs to the end/fringes or sides which are all original. The dyes have faded considerably over the last 100 plus years, giving this carpet a wonderful palette. Please look at the 11 additional images we have added to this new listing. All our photography tries to represent the true nature and colours of a carpet using no flash photography and natural light.Stock number
