Condition report:
The rug is in good overall condition. The wool pile appears thick and well-maintained across the entire surface (photo 1). The side serging is intact with no visible unraveling. The end fringes are complete but show minor tangling and light soiling consistent with residential use (photo 2). The manufacturer label on the reverse is heavily stained, yellowed, and peeling at the edges, though the primary text remains readable (photo 3).
