Overall in very good original condition. The pile throughout ranges from approximately 1/8 inch in matted down areas to the knotheads in areas of the open surround. The lower end corners with two small re-piled areas measuring approximately 1 inch by 1.5 inch and the lower left side flap with two smaller re-piled areas. The lower 1/3 of field of the carpet with slight alteration of color to the background, visible in the catalogue illustration, probably from changes to the dye lot. Some minor scattered spot stains and surface dirt. All sides with flatwoven finishes folded under and sewn. Supple handle throughout and the the carpet good overall condition. The striking shape and nice coloration in the detailing ranging from yellow orange to purple gives the work a elegant and very modernist presence when viewed in person.
