Due to technique (flatweave) there are small stitches joining areas at colour changes, commensurate with weaving method. The ends have been overturned and stitched down. To the green ground, there are some small areas of reweave and repair and small marks of discolouration, which are visible on close inspection. See small circular shaped areas of different colour and some small repairs in a lime green. In addition there are some small repairs in brown thread to the brown ground of the border. There are some areas of dark discolouration to the green ground in areas (noticeable on close inspection). This is a very decorative carpet of period colour combinations and design and a good size.
