A rug lies in the way or on the wall. Sun bleaches the side toward the window, moths work from below, a wrong roll creases the warp. In the overview Security for collectors this is a large textile.

What gets ruined without a thief

Light, damp from below, moths, a roll with too small a radius, tape on the fringe. You rotate a floor rug on a rhythm you keep, so the same band does not always bleach. You look under the corner. Storage dark, dry, with some air, not in plastic film on the concrete.

When someone comes

Heavy, but it can be rolled. A small, expensive rug goes under the arm. It does not lie as a runner in the hall when its price exceeds that of a piece of furniture. It lies in the locked room or, rolled without a crease, where it is not taken for the pickup box. The big jewelry thieves often leave rugs behind. Your damage then is moth and light, not the night.

The folder

Size, material, provenance, damage, receipt. A photo of the whole surface and of a corner with the structure. The policy names it as soon as it turns from furnishing into a collector's piece.
