      I agree. This looks like a set up. It is too evenly dirty. The corners are as filthy as the centre, which is unlikely. If it was that dirty, over 50 years, the dirt would act like an abrasive and that pile would not survive.

      I would also like to doubt it, even if there are no vacuum cleaners and every dirt is slipped in. To get so dirty, it would have to lie on a constantly damp clay soil for decades. And who buys an expensive carpet without at least knocking it out of the dust for decades?

    I worked in the oriental rug business for years, selling and repairing them. I cleaned many old rugs, some that were pretty dirty, and the 1st thing you do is to turn the rug over, face down, and vacuum the back with a machine that has a beater bar. This beats the dirt out of the rugs foundation, i.e. the warp and weft. If the rug is wet washed before beating the dirt out, you turn the dirt into mud which gets into the foundation and when dried, turns to dry rot.

      We have Persian rugs older than a hundred years in the house inherited from from family, only sign of age is worn and shortened fringes, and we been just vacuumed regularly and spot cleaned if someone spilled something on them.
      I am in my eighties with all the ware and tears, but not our Persian rugs brought from Iran in sixties and seventies, they are not faded or show any wear! I advise anyone who can, invest in beautiful Persian rugs! You don’t get tired of them or need to replace them because you only need to buy only once for not only you but for whoever get them once you are no longer on this earth.

I once visited a professional shop where they clean very old tapestry. This was a very slow process, whereby specially treated lime free water and a mild solvent percolated for hours through the tapestry, until the water was crystal clear. Then it took several hours to let the gobelin tapestry dry. After the drying process the painstaking process of restoration could start

      For a time in our high school years, my brother and I worked Saturdays at an Oriental rug auction (all handmade, mostly Persian) held at the Waldorf Astoria. We, along with a few other teens, were there to load/unload and handle the rugs (many being antiques) during the auction. Getting to handle them and up-close showed us just how robust and well-made those rugs were. Incredibly heavy, and dense with tight knots (observed on the undersides). What I wasn't surprised by was how the rug in the video appeared to maintain good color: The auction's rug dealers (two Persian brothers from Egypt) told us that the dyes used were created from insects and plants, with the resulting colors being more stable than artificial dyes.

Would like to know more background. Had the building been someone's home before it was converted into a warehouse? Did the rug belong to the original owner who left it to the new owner? Where had it been displayed? Did it meet its fate only after the warehouse had flooded? I could better imagine someone abandoning the rug and anything else inside after the building was first flooded.

    My husband bought a couple of persian carpets. Said to b over 50yrs old.
    They were so heavy i couldnt move them. Got a new super vacuum cleaner.
    Filled 3 bags of dirt from one carpet.
    It was so funny. We had a Doberman who go excited when anyone came. He would run to the door n race back excitedly. The carpet never moved.
    Then after an afternoon of vacuuming. He rushed to the door n the carpet took off with him at such a speed he was in shock. Next day, found him galloping in one direction flying on the carpet then pushed it back in place n then galloped the other direction. He had such fun. So i then placed it on one end of the room n it now gave him about 12 mtrs to slide.
    It was so funny to see his fun.
    His new game did not harm the rug or the tiles. When i came home n the carpet wasnt in its place, i always laughed when greeting him. He wld run to where the pile of carpet was all piled up. So pleased with with himself. He eventual was happy just to make it slide anywhere.

      There's a reason I have 4 large authentic Persian rugs in my home. I bought them about 20 years ago while in the Kuwait and they are still in great shape, brightly colored and hardly a wear mark on them in spite of their daily use with human and pet traffic. I will have to say this though, they are no fun to clean. A standard vacuum cleaner is not sufficient to get dirt out of the tightly woven threadworks. They do have to be professionally cleaned and since they are very large, just getting them rolled up is a job in itself.
      But since that is something that we don't have to do that often, they were well worth the money.

      I'm in total agreement with you! That carpet is the world, the environment(Climate Change), and society at this very moment in time! If anyone, or even any group of people could come up with a way to bring us a little more together and every soul stop littering, clean up our industrial practices(less chemicals in our food) and all of us treat each other with the respect we like ourselves treated, the world would be much better!

    That’s a flood damaged Persian rug ok !
    When you buy them they are pretty old to start with . My Father worked in Persia - when it was still called Persia - and we had a few he brought there - can remember my father telling me how they are so detailed that the young people who make them go blind very early in life. Once finished they throw the rugs into the road and allowed carts , cars trucks to run them over to age them as the older they are the more expensive. The detail on the front is exactly the same underneath, they are absolutely beautiful.

      Seems most people wouldn't have experienced a flood event where a river bursts it's banks and the incredible amount of silt that can be deposited. It may well matter how they are stored, if in piles they wouldn't have dried out and rotted but I've seen rugs hung off racks. If that was the case, the water could drain and they dry out and there would be air space in between each rug so they (and the silt) could dry out and they wouldn't rot.
