拍品的狀況可能存在極大差異，而由於其性質使然，拍品難以處於完美無瑕的狀態。拍品均以拍賣時的狀況出售。

The pile has uneven wear and ranges from areas of full pile, to areas below the level of the knot collar revealing the single-wefted structure beneath. The lowest areas are in the lower half of the field in three horizontal bands. There is a natural corrosion to the black which is in lower pile at times revealing the structure. The colour palette is rich and varied and the colours retain a good level of saturation overall but may benefit from a professional surface clean. There are several small reweaves, mainly within the borders and guard stripes, the largest in the right hand outer guard stripe at the lower end of the carpet measuring approx.. 11 x 6cm. The reweaves are in slightly higher pile and are more muted in tone than the original. The ends are original and complete with short fringes and the selvages are mostly secure but are lacking in scattered spots.
