: It seems that this attitude that original "as-found" condition is so much superior to a "real" fragment is almost exclusive to the rug world. Fellow TurkoTek-ers will hopefully enlighten us with their viewpoints.
"Mistake Alert" : I really meant "as-found" condition is considered to be much superior to a "repaired" rug. This is an attitude of rug collectors more than other collectors. Except in cases such as a shattered ceramic that has been glued crudely back together.
