Condition
In overall fair and usable condition. Retaining a fairly even, high pile throughout, though flattened in some areas where furniture rested on it. There are some losses along the longer edges, likely consistent with furniture being placed and moved, with some frayed edges consistent with use. Few areas of minor discoloration visible. There is a 2-inch tear along one side of the shorter edge, but mostly only noticeable when the rug is upside-down. Does not appear to have any distinct, aggressive odors.
Provenance
Provenance Property from the Collection of Madge Goldman, Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania
