About the Item

This circa 1930s Navajo double saddle blanket is an exceptional example of early 20th-century Native American weaving and textile design. Handwoven in a finely executed double-faced twill, the blanket is crafted from handspun wool in natural fleece tones of brown, black, and ivory. Its striking abstract geometric pattern showcases the weaver’s technical mastery and refined aesthetic sensibility. One side of the textile features a clean white field, while the reverse displays a richly contrasting black field—an impressive demonstration of symmetry, balance, and the duality inherent in Navajo design. The natural coloration of the wool, combined with the durability of handspun fibers and the precision of the weave, elevates this piece beyond functionality into the realm of collectible art. A rare and authentic Navajo weaving from the 1930s, this double saddle blanket stands as a testament to the skill, heritage, and artistic innovation of Navajo artisans. It is an outstanding addition for collectors of Native American textiles, Southwestern art, and early 20th-century ethnographic objects.
