Pile generally good, slightly matted down from 1/5 to 1/8 of an inch. Some small re-weaving in the left side guard stripe, the largest being approximately 2 x 8 inches at the lower end. Small losses to upper end guard stripe which is visible in the catalogue illustration and would benefit from resecuring. Lower left corner with slight fading. Sides are generally original except for some small areas of reweaving and reselvage. Ends folded under and secured with a binding stitch. Good overall condition.
