拍品的状况可能存在极大差异，而由于其性质使然，拍品难以处于完美无瑕的状态。拍品均以拍卖时的状况出售。

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.
