About the Item

Early 20th Century Navajo Rio Grande Carpet ( 4'6" x 7'8" - 137 x 234 ) Antique Navajo rug with multi-color geometric design Antique Navajo - Rio Grande American Flat Weave Rug, Country of Origin: American USA Rugs, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional textile represents a pivotal moment in the history of American USA Rugs production. Woven in the traditional Rio Grande flat weave technique, this piece showcases the striking, bold geometry characteristic of early 20th-century Southwestern design, reflecting a mastery of indigenous weaving practices. The field employs a powerful, repeating diamond or hourglass motif set against a vibrant ground of saturated rust red. The contrasting elements of deep black and mottled natural tan wool create a dynamic visual rhythm, typical of the finest examples of navajo rugs from this period, where simplicity of form yields maximum impact. Despite its age and utilitarian origin, this piece retains remarkable structural integrity, making it a highly desirable addition to any collection of antique rugs. The earthy, powerful palette—dominated by oxidized iron tones and natural browns—provides a striking aesthetic contrast to softer European imports, while lacking the typical muted tones of green color rugs. Given its dimensions and durable construction, this textile functions perfectly as a decorative accent piece, a striking hearth rug, or a compelling wall hanging. Its manageable scale makes it ideal for collectors seeking small scatter size rugs that deliver significant historical context and visual density, embodying the rugged elegance of the American Southwest.
