What Our Condition Reports Include
Each Nazmiyal Condition Report is a meticulous, museum-grade evaluation created by experienced rug specialists. Reports include:
Overall Condition Summary: An at-a-glance overview describing the rug’s general state—excellent, very good, good, or fair.
Structural Integrity: Assessment of foundation strength, knot density, warp and weft stability, and restoration history.
Surface Condition: Notes on pile wear, color fading, repairs, moth damage, or minor reweaves.
Edges and Ends: Detailed review of selvedges, fringes, and overcasting to indicate any restoration or reinforcement.
Color Accuracy and Dye Stability: Evaluation of natural and synthetic dyes, highlighting any color migration or oxidation.
Photographic Documentation: High-resolution images from multiple angles, including close-ups of key design elements and any condition details.
Every report is signed by a member of our authentication team and stored as part of the rug’s permanent record within the Nazmiyal Collection archives.
