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 carpet has light surface wear. There is a light surface dirt and minor spot stains, which would improve with professional cleaning. The field has naturally-occuring tonal variations (abrash) running through it. There are small scattered reweaves, mostly to one end, with the largest being 4¹⁄₂ in x 3 in., and one small split around 2cm in diameter. The selvages have been rebound and have some fraying. Part of the original fringe remains at one end, and at the other the outer guard stripe is missing, with further fraying which should be secured. A plastic mesh has been attached to the reverse corners for display purposes.
