About the Item
This vintage Navajo rug, handwoven during the Trading Post Era of the 1920s–1930s, is a striking example of Diné (Navajo) textile artistry from the pan-reservation period. Crafted by a skilled Navajo weaver using native hand-spun wool, the rug showcases a bold diamond motif—an iconic and enduring design in Southwestern textile tradition.
The rich color palette combines natural fleece tones of brown-black, gray-brown, and ivory (white), beautifully accented by vibrant aniline-dyed red. These earthy hues and striking red highlights create strong visual contrast, emphasizing the geometric symmetry and masterful craftsmanship of the weaving.
Versatile and functional, this authentic Navajo textile can be displayed as a dramatic wall hanging, used as an area rug, or styled as a bed covering or decorative furniture throw. Its durability and timeless aesthetic make it a perfect addition to both traditional and contemporary interiors.
The Diné (Navajo) people, Indigenous to the Southwestern United States—including Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah—are celebrated for their expert weaving techniques and rich cultural heritage. Rugs from this period are highly prized by collectors, designers, and Native American art enthusiasts.
This beautiful vintage Navajo rug remains in very good condition, offering a rare opportunity to own a genuine piece of early 20th-century Southwestern craftsmanship.
