Description

  • silk pile
  • Approximately 309 by 216cm; 10ft. 1in., 7ft. 1in.

Condition

Generally with good pile overall, 3-4 mm., but would benefit from a surface clean and brush as the pile is a little ruckled. Areas of banded wear primarily in centre of lower half of field, and minor areas of low pile in border, not severe. Overall a good looking piece in acceptable condition for age. Ends conserved with herringbone cotton tape on reverse.
