About the Item

We love the vertical triangle herringbone column pattern and here it has a strongly defined border in beige and tan. The palette is earth-toned and natural. Figure-ground reversal of the beige and tan columns. Versatile, contemporary palette. Excellent condition. Measures: 4'9" x 7'7". Antique Navajo American Brown 1920s Rug, Country of Origin: American USA Rugs, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional textile represents the zenith of early 20th-century navajo rugs production, showcasing the profound cultural heritage and technical mastery of weavers from the American Southwest. The flatweave structure and bold, graphic motifs immediately identify it as a piece designed for both utility and artistic statement. The sophisticated palette is dominated by rich, variegated shades of brown earth tone color rugs and natural cream, providing a grounding aesthetic that complements any rustic or modernist interior. This restrained use of color is punctuated by striking rows of serrated diamonds rendered in a vibrant, oxidized red, adding dynamic movement to the otherwise tranquil field. Such textiles are highly sought after examples of American USA Rugs history. The central design features a powerful, repeating zigzag pattern, creating large, interlocking diamond shapes that traverse the length of the field. This highly kinetic geometry is framed by a triple border system, utilizing bands of solid color to anchor the complex interior composition. The size of this piece makes it ideal for integrating into smaller spaces or layering, positioning it among the finest small scatter size rugs available in the market today. Woven circa the 1920s, this textile exhibits the desirable patina and robust construction indicative of age and quality. It serves not only as a functional floor covering but as a significant piece of textile history, offering collectors a rare opportunity to acquire museum-quality antique rugs with impeccable provenance and enduring graphic appeal.
